I adopted this recipe from the Recipezaar account and made it for Christmas. I am not a fan of mincemeat but with the cranberries and the egg nog cream it was quite tasty.

2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed
10 inches pie crusts, double crust
1 quart mincemeat
1 egg yolk, mixed with 2 t. water
2 cups eggnog, chilled
1 (3 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 pint whipping cream
Directions:
1. In saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add water. Over high heat, cook and stir until boiling.
2. Add cranberries; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Turn mincemeat into pastry lined 9 or 10 pie plate.
4. Top with cranberries. Cover with vented top crust; seal and flute.
5. Brush egg mixture over crust.
6. Bake at 425 degrees in lower half of oven 30 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Decorate with Egg Nog cream (recipe follows).
