    Mmm that looks good. i just used up all my cranberries. I finally did the cranberry relish for Christmas – it was delish. A different spin on a classic, and enjoyed by all.

    Hi Pink,
    I’m so glad you made the cranberry relish! It is good isn’t it? This pie is also very very yummy. My friend Heidi made this one and gave me the recipe, after giving me the last piece of the pie. :-)

    I am so glad you changed the cranberries to fresh frozen. You are right about the dried cranberries, they are full of corn syrup. In fact the most well known of cranberry comapnies, actually uses the carcasses of their berries after they’ve been culled for juice. They take the leftover shel and infuse it with cranberry flavoring and corn syrup. It’s all too unforgiving. Fresh is best!

    I made this pie and it was delicious!! Quick question, there was alot of juice when I cut the first slice. Any ideas on how to avoid this? Thanks!

    Looks like a great recipe. I like combining different fruits and nuts especially in desserts.
    I just posted a great recipe on the site:
    redbarnrecipes.com that combines cherries and apples.

    Thanks for a great site!
