This is a great pie. The only thing I would change the second time around is that I would delete the dried cranberries and add more lemon zest. Just personal taste, some people probably would like the texture change with the dried cranberries. Even my mom, who thought it wouldn't be any good, loved this at Thanksgiving and I'm making it again for New Years Day.
