Here in New England, where cranberries are more plentiful (and less expensive) than cherries, my dear sister-in-law would make this pie every year. We lost her a few years ago, but will always remember her warm and loving personality through her recipes. Ingredients:
2 cups fresh cranberries |
1 cup raisins |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup water |
1 tablespoon vanilla |
2 unbaked pie crusts |
Directions:
1. Put cranberries and raisins into a blender and chop up together.
2. Sift flour and sugar together and add to fruit mixture.
3. Add water and vanilla.
4. Pour into an unbaked pie crust.
5. Top with crust and cut slits for steam to escape.
6. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes.
7. 5 minutes before it is done, brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
8. Chill.
9. (The taste is better when it is cold).
