CRANBERRY-MINCEMEAT PIE

pastry for a 2-crust pie
2/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
2/3 cup water
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and drained
1 jar mincemeat
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp water

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a 9 or 10-inch pie plate with a pastry; set aside.

In saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add water. Over high heat, cook and stir until boiling. Add the cranberries and return to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the mincemeat into the pastry-lined pie plate. Top with the cranberry mixture. Cover with the other pastry, vent, seal the edges and flute. Whip together the egg yolk and 2 tbsp water. Brush the egg mixture over the top pastry. Bake in the lower half of the oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown at 425
