Nantucket Cranberry Pie
Being a transplanted Bostonian, cranberries are near and dear to my heart, not to mention palate. When fresh cranberries hit the supermarkets this time of year, I am in all my baking glory. I contemplated what cranberry recipe to make first this year and decided to try a new recipe, Nantucket Cranberry Pie, instead of my usual upside down cranberry cake. Before the season’s over, I’ll probably make the upside down cake in addition to cranberry-orange bread and, of course, cranberry-orange scones.
I’m not sure of the origin of the name, but Nantucket Cranberry Pie is a misnomer because it’s really a cake. And a fabulous one, indeed. I found that it’s almost an upside down cake as well because most of the nuts and fruit do settle at the bottom. All the photos I saw online showed the cake being served top side up with the fruit on the bottom, but I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t serve it bottom side up if you preferred.
Roger gave this recipe a resounding “10” stars, and Amy, who is home on school break for Thanksgiving, and I were in total agreement. Blake and his brother came over for a piece, and it was thumbs up all around. I made this in the afternoon and by nighttime there was a pathetically small piece of pie/cake left.
Looks like I need to go to the supermarket and pick up another bag of cranberries!
