Cranberry Pie
Cranberries may be best known as a sauce (and we have those recipes, too!), but they can do so much more. Tart and vibrant in color, these beautiful berries are best between October and January, which makes them a great ingredient for holiday and seasonal meals. You can buy cranberries fresh, frozen, dried or canned, so there are tons of options for both cooking and baking. We suggest starting with this colorful pie, which uses cranberries in various forms: from dehydrated cranberries in the crust, to fresh cranberries in the filling, to beautifully frosted fresh cranberries on top. A gorgeous addition to your dessert table, this pie is creamy, tart and tangy, with just the right amount of sweet.
