]]> The prolific food writer and novelist Laurie Colwin had a great appreciation for simplicity in the kitchen. This adaptation of her recipe for Nantucket Cranberry Pie takes her easy recipe and makes it even easier by using whole instead of chopped cranberries. Instead of serving the pie as suggested, topped with a browned crust, our adaptation inverts the cooked pie to showcase the glistening red berries. Top the pie with a dusting of snowy confectioner’s  sugar — or, to offset the tartness of the fruit, serve each portion with a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream.

Cranberries freeze extremely well, so you can keep them on hand year-round. No cranberries? Blueberries make a lovely substitute, especially when you can harvest them locally. This recipe calls for a 25.4 cm (10-inch) pie pan.

Adapted from More Home Cooking: A Writer Returns to the Kitchen by Laurie Colwin, Harper Collins 1993
