Preheat the oven to 450 F.

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add cold water, tossing until a dough ball forms.

Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie plate, transfer, trim, and flute the edge; chill the crust.
-
For the filling, beat eggs until thick, then gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until light.
-
Stir in sour cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Fold in the dark raisins.

Spoon the filling into the prepared pie shell.

Bake at 450 F for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 F and bake for 30 minutes more, or until a skewer inserted midway comes out clean.

Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
