Featured Recipe: Nantucket Pie

This comes from our instructor Marie: a sweet dessert to help you use up some of those cranberries you may have left from Thanksgiving, and it’s also “easy and delicious!”

 

Ingredients

·      2 cups of halved fresh cranberries

·      ½ cup chopped walnuts

·      ½ cup sugar

·      2 large eggs

·      ¾ cup butter melted and cooled

·      ¾ cup sugar

·      1 cup flour

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Grease a springform pan (you really do need a springform (cheesecake) pan for this. An 8 or 9 inch work best.

3. In a medium bowl combine cranberries, walnuts and ½ cup of sugar. Toss well.

4. Pour mixture directly into your well-greased spring form pan.

5. Spread evenly and pat down a bit.

6. In a medium bowl, combine butter sugar and eggs. Mix until smooth add the flour. Mix until smooth.

7. Batter is thick. With a spatula and your fingers, spread batter gently over the cranberry/walnut mixture until all areas are covered.

8. Place springform pan on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (to catch drips…trust me) and bake for 30-35 minutes. Unmold and enjoy!
