For a deeper flavor, consider using dark rum or bourbon to soak the raisins instead of water. To prevent the pie crust from browning too quickly, you can shield the edges with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. The pie is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes a delightful accompaniment.
