Cranberry Pie

Carrie asked me for my recipe for Cranberry Pie, so here it is! This was Uncle Nason's recipe. He served it to Brian, Rick, and me on an Autumn day, when we were visiting. The pie is gorgeous with its deep ruby filling, and pleasantly tart with a hint of molasses. Enjoy!

Amish Cranberry Pie

2 cups chopped cranberries
1 Cup white sugar
1/2 C. water
2 Tbls. molasses
2 Tbls. cornstarch

Mix all the ingredients in heavy saucepan and cook until thick. Pour into a pie shell (9") and top with a lattice crust. Bake 10 minutes at 450, then 20 min. more at 350. (Uncle Nason used a regular top crust and shook cinnamon and sugar all over the top.)

Sue's note: we use a whole bag of fresh cranberries, and we don't chop them up.
LinkHere's a link to the crust we used this year. It's a healthy pie crust and actually tastes good.

Triptik



Greetings all:


I am thankful you are in my life and that we are in touch with each other! Thanksgiving here was low key. Just Mike, me and the cat. It snowed here so I went on a quick xc around the park out the back door. We also got to go skiing yesterday (Friday 11/23) for $9 - only one run was open and a million kids were trying to cut the line. Little did they know that I was cutting the lift line before they were born! They didn't get in front of me - needless to say!! :)


Here is a couple of pics of our livingroom featuring Shirley's "Creation" triptik. We planned the whole room around it. We really enjoy it.


Today is the parents 58th anniversary if I am adding right. Isn't that amazing!


Have a peaceful day - Rebecca

Urban Deer






Helena has an urban deer problem. There are mule deer everywhere. The city came up with a plan to reduce the population, but the state wildlife agency won't implement it. So for now, the deer stay. It is crazy, but kinda nice. I won't try to plant a garden until I can get it fenced. Everyone has netting around everything.

These critters are in my back yard.


Happy fall!
