Cranberry Raisin Pie

By: Sandy Jenkins 
"Even though it was difficult, we saved room for dessert when my mom made this festive holiday pie. It pairs tart cranberries with sweet raisins inside a flaky golden crust. We loved it with big scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream."

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Shape into a ball; divide dough in half so one ball is slightly larger than the other. Roll out larger ball between two sheets of waxed paper to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate; trim pastry even with edge. Set aside. For filling, combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a saucepan; gradually stir in orange juice until smooth. Stir in cranberries and raisins; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour into crust. Roll out remaining dough between two sheets of waxed paper. cut slits in pastry or use a 1-1/2-in. holly leaf cutter to make a design. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Brush pastry with milk if desired. Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
