HONEY CRAN-RASPBERRY PIE

Honey Cran-Raspberry Pie image

This cranberry raspberry pie is my son Michael's recipe. It was passed down to him when he got married in 2002. The pie is quite tart, but it pairs well with a favorite vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. —Beverly Batty, Forest Lake, Minnesota

In a small bowl, whisk egg, 3 tablespoons ice water and vinegar until blended. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt; cut in shortening and lard until crumbly.

Shape each into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 portion of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate. Trim crust even with rim. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°. In a large bowl, mix 1-1/4 cups sugar and tapioca. Add cranberries, raspberries, honey and almond extract; toss to coat evenly. Let stand 15 minutes., Pour filling into pie plate. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Combine cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; sprinkle over top. Place pie on a baking sheet; bake 10 minutes., Reduce oven setting to 350°. Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 35-40 minutes. Cool pie on a wire rack. If desired, serve with ice cream.
