Below is a recipe for a pie which has brought rave reviews from both myself and all others I have introduced it to; beware! While I like it tart, some may prefer it sweeter. For those people, feel free to increase the amount of sugar/water mix (or cornsyrup). In the recipe posted in the Harrowsmith Cookbook, the amount of sweetener was ~ 3* that posted below. Cranberry/Walnut Pie Pastry for 9" pie shell 3 1/2 C. fresh cranberries 1/2 C. seedless raisins 2/3 C. (brown) sugar mixed w. ~1/3 C. water (to syrup consistency) -may substitute 2/3 C. cornsyrup 2 T. flour 1 t. grated orange rind 1/4 t. salt 1 T. soft butter (or margarine for vegans) 3/4 C chopped walnuts orange slices & whole cranberries for garnish (opt.) Grind cranberries/raisins together Add sweetener, flour, orange rind, salt, and butter (or margarine) Mix well Stir in walnuts Place in pie shell Bake at 375 degrees F., 40-45 min. Cool Garnish with orange slices & whole cranberries (opt.) Serve with ice cream (opt.) * I have found that adding mixing all the ingredients together to mix works just as well and saves time. Very easy, and VERY good. Keep on cooking, Cameron Anderson watmath!watarts!cdanderson
