Environs Cranberry Pie

Submitted by Nado2003

"My friend made this and it was delicious. I've never had a cranberry pie, I love it. Sweet and tart. Wonderful with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I just love it plain. The berries retains the bright red color of cranberries unlike when you cook them whole and they turn dark red. Great for Thanksgiving and Christmas."

Oh, yum! I made this 25% less sugar (my usual with desserts) and part of this as written, and part with little balls of almond paste pressed in (so they wouldn't be up high and burn) - and the almond paste brought it to an even higher level than it was already! The ingredients specify two pies and the yield one, so I went with the ingredient amount - and made half for one pie. The pie dish could have taken more, but definitely not double the amount of filling. DH said he will be eating this for breakfast too!
