I found this recipe looking to use up some ingredients I had on hand. Did not have pecans, but added a minced lemon. Very good, and easy to make along side dinner.
easy, sweet and tart.....if you top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream you will be in heaven.
Great way to use up my holiday cranberries and a snap to make. I used a gluten free cup for cup rice flour with xanthan gum. A little on the sweet side but still really good. Will cut back the sugar in the topping if I make it again.
This recipe is very similar to Laurie Colwin's "Nantucket Cranberry Pie."
