The Cranberry, or as I like to think of it ~ nature's ruby! This little power fruit is packed with all kinds of excellent benefits! Lots of phyto-chemicals that support good heart, immune and anti-cancer health!
Before I knew anything about that, I bought them simply because I liked them! Below are a few reasons why I enjoy them! Oh, they keep well in your freezer too!!
A few of my favorite things!
Cranberry relish
Cape Codder drink
Cranberry sauce
Pies
Below is a recipe for a super simple crustless cranberry pie! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the cranberries and the walnuts, and toss to coat. Stir in the butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract. If you are using frozen cranberries, the mixture will be very thick. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice

Hi Sam, nice to see you, I hope you can try the pie! Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
DeleteThat looks interesting. Can't say that I have ever had a cranberry pie, but I must add cranberries to my Thanksgiving list. I love to freeze them and float them in the punch bowl.
ReplyDeleteHi Vee, nice to see you! Get those berries before they are gone! Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
DeleteYum! I'm springing for a cranberry and apple pie with a streusel topping for this Thanksgiving ... and jars of cranberry chutney for Christmas stocking stuffers ... gotta love cranberries!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! I love chutney! Great idea making cranberry stocking stuffers! Can you post your recipe please. Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
DeleteNature's ruby! I love that. Nice to see your post. Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving. Susan
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, nice to see you too! Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
DeleteThis sounds absolutely wonderful! We love cranberries here, and I've made my sauce for next week already! Now I must go buy more cranberries in order to add this pie to the table! Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Nellie, I really enjoy it, I hope you do too! Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
DeleteI've never really been a huge cranberry fan. It's not a hugely popular fruit in the UK I guess because we don't grow it but I've grown to like it over the years and of course it's great with vodka! The crust less pie is such a fab idea though. I love the look of it.
ReplyDeleteHi Dom, cranberries really are a New England delicacy! We are fortunate enough in Massachusetts to have lots of bogs! I'm actually looking enough to be able to drive a couple of towns over to a big and buy them right there. The other thing I like is cranberry honey! Have you ever tried that? It's really a sight to see the beehives right along the shore with the bogs are. Hope all is well with you! We are getting ready for a big American Thanksgiving! We're setting the scales back 10 pounds! LOL
Deletethat looks like a good and easy recipe great for Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteCathy
Hi Cathy! You betcha! I'm making it myself!
DeleteI love cranberries and eat them dried as a snack. Thank you for this recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, me too! This is a great & easy go to pie for a Sunday brunch or a GNO (girls night out) with the gang! Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteThis looks great - I can almost smell and taste it from your pictures! RJ loves cranberries, but he is on a low carb diet these days and so would probably not want me to tempt him with something as delicious as this :-)
ReplyDeleteJust give him a small slice and freeze the rest! ;)
DeleteNature's ruby, for sure! It's unique and looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for the recipe, Mary!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, thank you & Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteIt looks delish. I make something a little similar but I usually throw in a buttery crust. I love all the extra fat and calories. LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, I hear ya, only my tummy doesn't agree with my taste buds all the time! I despise it when they argue! LOL
DeleteOh my, that looks so delish!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a cranberry pie.
This year, I've got cranberries in the fridge, and I'll be making cranberry/orange relish.
Have a wonderful day!!
Kerin
Hi Kerin, you will love it! Also, cranberries keep nicely in your freezer for a year plus, depending on how you freeze them! Enjoy!
DeleteI am stocking up on cranberries and this sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, I stock up every year! The pie is really nice, you can also serve it warm with a scoop of icecream! Enjoy!
DeleteLove cranberries and hate to make crust. A match made in heaven! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, then this recipe is for you! Enjoy!
DeleteI hope you are well and that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I've missed your posts. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, thank you. Our Thanksgiving was "interesting" - to say the least. I hope yours was fun & delicious, I'm sure it was!
DeleteJust wanted to stop by to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.
Deleteyay! more cranberry recipes...can we ever have enough?
