What I Am Thankful For (Part 2)...



...Nantucket and Nantucket Cranberry Pie. The name of this pie alone was the reason I added it to our Thanksgiving menu. I tested it last night to make sure it wasn't poisonous. Hopefully Tutu's Fluffy Pumpkin Pie doesn't get offended because this pie made the cut with flying colors.

NANTUCKET CRANBERRY PIE

You will need:
butter for greasing
2 cups (heaping) cranberries
3/4 cup pecans, measure then chop
2/3 cup 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

Preheat oven to 35o degrees.
Rinse enough cranberries to fill about half a pie pan.
Butter a glass pie pan.
Fill pie pan with cranberries, 2/3 cup sugar and pecans.
Mix together flour, sugar, melted butter, eggs, almond extract and salt.
Drizzle batter over cranberry mixture.
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar for added crunch.
Bake for 45-50 minutes.
Serve with ice cream or whipped cream and dream of Nantucket.
It's easy as pie!
