Another Thanksgiving Recipe: Cranberry Pake

As I mentioned in last week’s posting, my daughter requested some favorite family recipes for her Thanksgiving dinner. Here's a simple, seasonal dessert, that packs a flavorful punch. This recipe, called a Cranberry Pake, is a combination of a Pie and a cAKE, hence the name.

Cranberry Pake

10-inch pie crust (you can make your own or purchase a ready made crust at Trader Joe’s and elsewhere)
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cups sugar (this can be reduced)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
3/4 cup soft margarine
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour

Line a 10 inch pie plate with your favorite crust. Mix cranberries, ½ cup sugar (hold the remaining cup of sugar for the next step) and nuts and place in crust. Cream margarine with remaining 1 cup sugar. Add eggs and flour to the sugar mixture and mix well. Pour batter over cranberry mix, sealing it to the edges of the pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Serve warm or cold. Serves 8 to 10.
Freezes well.
