• Beat egg whites at high speed of an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
• Add 2 tablespoons sugar gradually, beating until stiff peaks form.
• Top pie with meringue and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until top is browned.

Steps:

• Cream butter or margarine, and add sugar; cream until light and fluffy. Mix in egg yolks. Combine flour and spices, and add to creamed mixture. Blend in cream. Stir in nuts, raisins, and dates. Pour filling into unbaked pie shell.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 40 minutes, or until set. Cool.

Steps:

• 1. Bake pie shell to a golden brown and cool completely.
• 2. Cream together the margarine and brown sugar. Beat in the egg yolks (use the whites for meringue if using) and mix well.
• 3. Combine the flour and spices then add to pie mixture. Stir in the cream, dates, raisins and nuts.
• 4. Fill the baked pie shell and bake at 325 until the pie is set, which may take approximately 30 minutes. If using meringue, place plastic wrap directly on pie mixture to keep warm while making meringue. This prevents a runny film between pie and meringue. Hint: I do this on all my custard-type pies that I top with meringue.
• 5. (((( The next time I make this pie, I will not use meringue on top. It is very good without the meringue ))))
