Honey Pie

We'd like to think that this is an old Crandall recipe possibly dating back to the cranberry bogs of the original Rhode Island Crandall homestead.  This IS a recipe passed down through Jonny Clark's Crandall line.  We discovered that seven generations back, Jonny and Christi have a common Crandall ancestor.  It is a tradition to serve it at Thanksgiving time in the Clark household.  Regardless, it's a recipe that we share to remind us of those cranberry bogs in Rhode Island where John Crandall established the first Crandall residence. 

1 c. cranberries
1 c. raisins
1 c. heavy cream
1 c. sugar
Mix together until sugar dissolves.  Place in pie crust.  Bake at 375 until bubbly (about 30 min).

Variations seem to be a Crandall tradition.  We have also made this pie with blueberries, added pecans, or any other kind of berry combination.
