Pies and such is my LIFE!

Hello, hello! Anybody ever ate a pie made out of cranberries? Well, today I made one. It is not as random as may think. I'm testing out fruit recipes for our church's annual Holiday Specialtea. So far I've tested: Grapes stuffed with Bacon and Cream Cheese, Pear Gorgonzola Pizza, White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies, Lemon Square Bars, and today Cranberry Steusel Pie. All have been pretty good. We are trying for an eclectic mix - sample items that will be new for our guests. It is fun finding and trying new recipes. I am not doing this by myself. I have lovely friend who's gift is truly being organized and can she cook! And there are a host of other women who are helping as well.

Isn't it a pretty pie? I'd describe it as a cross between a rhubarb pie and a cherry pie. In case you do try the recipe in the link, I did increase the white sugar to 1 full cup and used pecans instead of walnuts.
