I cannot say enough about this marvelous pie! I fixed it for Thanksgiving, 2010, and it took top honors in the dessert category and 2nd honors overall, with my family. This pie is sweet at first, then kind of sour, then bitter in the after-taste, as good cranberries should be. It is delectible, it is different, it is beautiful in color, it is unexpected, and it is delicious! This pie rocks! and is highly, highly, highly unrealized by the average public. Fix it for your Christmas, if you like cranberries, you will not miss. Warning: I did add additional Splenda, mixed with original sugar to sweeten slightly more and I had to add extra corn starch to thicken. Bravo to the cranberries!!!
