Nantucket Cranberry Pie

December 2, 2011 by Jaida 3 Comments

 

 

For this recipe swap, Sarah gave us the perfect theme – Thanksgiving sides! The recipes were given about a week before Thanksgiving so it was perfect timing, and I was super excited to try something new – especially when it turned out to be something non-pumpkin! Nothing against the pumpkin, but you can vouch that I’d been making quite a few pumpkin desserts the past few weeks. I received this recipe from Melissa of Delicious Melicious and if you take a look to the left bar over there, you’ll notice that her blog is one that I follow! She has some great stuff, so you should definitely cruise over and check it out.

I’m not a huge fan of pecans myself, so I wasn’t sure if I would like the pie or not, but I do LOVE cranberries – well, cranberry juice anyway – so I gave it a try anyway πŸ™‚ The crust was a bit thick for my liking, but may be better if there was more filling to balance it out. Overall it tasted pretty good, though the tartness of the cranberries definitely stood out. Good think I like tart πŸ˜‰ Cranberry pie is definitely a nice change from all the pumpkin and pecan pies that seem to overrun the Thanksgiving dessert table.

Received from: Delicious Melicious; Orginally from: The Pioneer Woman

Ingredients

  • Butter, For Greasing
  • 2 cups (heaping) Cranberries
  • 3/4 cups Pecans, Chopped (measure, Then Chop)
  • 2/3 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 stick Unsalted Butter, melted
  • 2 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Almond Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar For Sprinkling

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Generously butter a cake pan or pie pan. Add cranberries to the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle on chopped pecans, then sprinkle on 2/3 cup sugar.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, melted butter, eggs, almond extract, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Pour batter slowly over the top in large “ribbons” in order to evenly cover the surface. Spread gently if necessary.
  5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. 5 minutes before removing from oven, sprinkle surface with 1 tablespoon sugar for a little extra crunch.
  6. Cut into wedges and serve with ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

    I have to try this pie myself, I also love cranberries and it just looked so good. Did you use the pecans or leave them out? I personally like them, but I am sure the recipe would be great either way. Thanks for trying it!

    Melissa – I did use the pecans. I don't particularly like them myself, but wanted to make the recipe as-is the first time, and it was so good! Thanks for submitting it!

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
