Cranberry-Raisin Pie is a classic dessert option that is perfect for the holiday season. The tartness of the cranberries complements the sweetness of the raisins, making it a delicious dessert option that is great for a crowd. The filling is slightly thick and gooey, and the crust is thin and flaky, giving it a perfect texture. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent dessert experience.

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.	In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped cranberries, water, raisins, sugar, and flour.
3.	Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and bubbly.
4.	Remove from the heat and stir in the almond extract.
