Thanksgiving is coming up and maybe you want to try something a little different this year.
Take some inspiration from 1931 and try making this easy cranberry pie. I made it a few years ago and I think it turned out pretty well, especially considering that I am a terrible baker.
This recipe appeared in Louise Bennett Weaver’s (1889-1949) syndicated newspaper column “Helping the Homemaker” which was printed in 1920s and 1930s. Louise was the Home editor for the Associated Press Feature Service; in SLC her column appeared in the Salt Lake Telegram.
Cranberry Pie Recipe:
4 cups cranberries
2 cups sugar
2 Tablespoon flour
1-4 teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 Tablespoon water
3 Tablespoon butter
Carefully look over berries. Add sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon. Pour into an unbaked crust fitted into a deep pie pan. Add water and dot with butter. Cover criss-cross fashion with one-third inch strips of unbaked pastry. Bake in moderate oven 35 minutes. This popular pie should be served on the day it is baked.
