Ingredients
2 cups Sugar
1/4 cup Flour
1/4 tsp Salt
3 cups Fresh Cranberries, halved
1 tsp Almond Extract
1/2 cup Water
Prepared Pie Crust (store bought or homemade)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat your oven th 425°F. In a sauce pan, combine sugar, flour, salt, cranberries, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 2
Prepare the pie crust. Use your favorite recipe or purchase a ready made crust. Stir the almond extract into the cranberry mixture and pour into the pie crust.
Step 3
If wanting a double crust pie (closed top) add the second layer of pastry, crimp the edges and cut vent slits into the top. If wanting an uncvered pie, skip this step.
Step 4
Bake in your preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, checking teh crust isn't browing too quickly every 10 minutes. If you notice the crust is browning too quickly, cover pie with aluminum foil and continue baking.
Step 5
Let cool before serving. Best served lightly dusted with powdered sugar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
