Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh cranberries
• 2 cups Wild blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Prepared pie crusts (top and bottom)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cranberries, wild blueberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir gently until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 3

Roll out one pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

Step 4

Pour the cranberry and blueberry mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the filling with small pieces of unsalted butter.

Step 5

Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the top of the filling. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust lightly with the egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.

Step 7

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips, then transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.

Step 10

Slice and serve the pie at room temperature or slightly warmed, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
