I have been a bit of a Grinch this year, but I did enjoy a massive cooking project. I believe that I set a personal record for number of ingredients used. I am proud that everything was done at the correct time, in the correct amounts, and that I coordinated the kitchen neatly.
I love making pies, and this Cranberry Apple Pie was one of my best pies ever. It was tart with just the right amount of sugar; it was full of flavor; and it was a beautiful shade of deep red. There were two apples that not only taste good, they were necessary for texture and holding the filling together. The remainder was cranberry, half of which I sauced first. Sugar, spice. I put in a couple of spoons of cornstarch in, and if I make this pie again I will add chia seed to make the filling to gel better.
