8 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 cups Cranberries
1½ cup Sugar
3 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 Egg; lightly beaten
½ teaspoon Almond extract
Pastry for a 2-crust; 9-inch pie

Directions

Have you ever tried a cranberry pie? I hadn't, and it's not likely that you have either. In Colonial times this was a populartreat, using the native American berries.

Preheat the oven to 400ø. Wash and pick over cranberries; drain thoroughly. Chop cranberries and mix with sugar and cornstarch. Mix egg and almond extract and combine with cranberries. Line a 9-inch pie plate with half the pastry. Add cranberry mixture. Cover with strips of pastry arranged in a lattice, and seal edges. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350ø and continue baking about 35 minutes, or until cranberries are soft and pastry is browned.
