cranberry-raisin pie

I'm still thinking about cranberries, so I thought I'd post some more cranberry recipes. This one is for a nice pie with a maple flavor. It's definitely a "grown-up" sort of pie, so if you're worried about the kids eating up all the Thanksgiving pie, this one will likely be safe from tiny appetites.

2 cups cranberries
1 1/2 cups sultanas (golden raisins) or blend of sultanas, raisins, and currants
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup (grade B, if available)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon brandy
1 tablespoon orange zest

Combine ingredients in a bowl. Pour into prepared, unbaked bottom pie shell (there is no top on this pie, though pastry cut in the shape of a maple leaf makes a nice top decoration). Bake at 425F for 30 minutes or until done.
