I love cooking. I love baking. One of my most favorite rooms in our house is the kitchen! My husband and I are absolutely "foodies". We love trying new restaurants, we love trying new recipes, and we love, love, love local flavor. We are blessed to be from a unique area of New England that is steeped in history and culture, as is evident in our local flavors! One New England staple I can not get enough of is the cranberry!
Today, after returning home from work early (love working at a school!), I started on my cooking and baking for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Thanksgiving will be at my mom and dad's house this year, but we have our contributions we make to the feast every year! Our chourico stuffing (...to die for, if I do say so myself! Recipe for that in a later post!), a butternut bisque (!!), an apple pie, and a new addition this year: a nantucket cranberry pie! This pie came out delicious!
I recommend you try it! Let me know what you think =)
Ingredients:
- butter to grease your pie dish
- 2 cups of cranberries (I probably used a little more than that!)
- 3/4 cups pecans (chopped)
- 2/3 cups sugar (for pie filling)
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 stick butter (melted)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon almost extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a cake pan or pie pan (I used a glass 7" by 11" rectangle pan! It was all I had available)
Add cranberries to the bottom of the pan. Add chopped pecans and 2/3 cup sugar.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup sugar, melted butter, eggs, almond extract, and salt. Stir until combined.
Spread batter over the top of the pie. *this is tricky! I spooned it on the top and pressed it flat with my hands*
Bake for 40-50 minutes.
It is really that simple! How yummy does that look?!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours <3 Enjoy family, friends, food, and football (if you are into that)!!
