CRANBERRY-RAISIN PIE

This is a classic Canadian pie filling. It used to be known as mock cherry, and there is a resemblance. But I would rather call it what it is, rather than what it isn't.

Perfect for autumn holiday meals, this pie is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Yield makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

Flaky Pastry (page 37)
3 cups cranberries, fresh or thawed
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for the top of the pie
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup golden raisins
2/3 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon or orange zest
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out half the pastry to make an 11-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie pan; trim and refrigerate until ready to use along with the remaining pastry.
  • Combine the cranberries, flour, 2 cups of the sugar, the salt, water, raisins, and lemon zest in a saucepan and heat to a boil. Simmer, covered, over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the cranberries start to pop. Remove from the heat. Add butter. Cool completely.
  • Position the oven racks so that one rack is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection bake at 375°F.
  • Roll out the second half of the pastry to make an 11-inch circle. With a pastry wheel, cut into eight 1/2-inch strips.
  • Put the fruit filling into the pie shell and sprinkle with the almonds. Moisten the edge of the shell slightly with cold water. Arrange 4 pastry strips 1 inch apart across the filling; press the ends into the rim of the pastry. Place 4 pastry strips across the first ones at right angles to make a lattice. Press the ends to the rim of the pie and crimp. Lightly brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the crust is nicely browned. Cool the pie on a wire rack.

APPLE CRANBERRY RAISIN PIE

One of the best fruit pies I have eaten in a long time. This is a Canadian Living recipe that I had wanted to try for a while but it was a matter of having all of the ingredients on hand, which I finally did. The pie itself bakes very quickly as the filling is precooked.
