Ingredients

1 box Pillsbury roll out crusts
(found in the refrigerated section next to biscuits)
1/2 small orange, cut into pieces
4 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
2 cups cranberries (fresh)
2 cups sugar
3 TBS cornstarch

Coarsely grind orange in food processor. Put orange, blueberries, cranberries and sugar and cornstarch into saucepan. Heat over low until it comes to a rolling boil.  Cook 8 minutes, stirring constantly.  Cool completely.  Roll out crust into pie pan. Put cooled filling into crust.  Roll out second crust on top of pie.  Cut 4 slits in the center of pie crust.  Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Put pie on foil lined cookie sheet.  Cook at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.  Cook at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.  Serve pie at room temperature (filling will be too liquid if you serve it hot).
