Mid Week Rummage: Lacy Top Cranberry Pie Recipe

Last Thanksgiving my granddaughter was in charge of making apple pie for the family feast. She loves to bake and has several recipes....at home. Unfortunately she left the recipe for crust back home. I have the recipe, and several cookbooks at my home but we were at my daughter's place....and she doesn't love to cook so no cookbooks for pie crust. After searching she found one that was soupy (what was that about?) but we were able to save it with a bit of flour...ok, a lot of flour. Grandma saved the pie...yay, Super Grandma...I need a cape.

Anyway, this recipe is really a cranberry-apple pie with lattice topping. The recipe was featured in a Spry Shortening ad from 1939.  The filling looks good and the crust recipe is traditional. Just a little insurance for this year's pie.

Giving Thanks and Feeling Blessed

 

Thanksgiving dinner is over and instead of the turkey being stuffed, I am. I ate until I couldn’t stand it anymore and grounded myself right out of the kitchen. Darn, my hubby’s a good cook. I am destined to be a little round bubbe (that Yiddish for grandma, y’all) as long as he keeps cooking the way he does…..and I’m not going to tell him to stop, neither. Some things you just have to accept.

Did you take a moment to think about what you are grateful for? Health, family, friends? Another day? Freedom? Love? Children? So many blessings to say “Thank you” for.

I am thankful I have a loving family, health, a job (good one, too), a roof over my head, and food on my table. My husband and I have good, caring friends. I am thankful to live in a free society that I may practice my religion and speak my mind without threat of arrest or worse. So many things to be thankful for.

I am thankful for my readers who take the time to read my words.

I am blessed.
