FRESH CRANBERRY PIE
This recipe was adapted from one I found in Gourmet Magazine over 10 years ago. It is more like a buttery pound cake over a filling of chopped cranberries and walnuts, than an actual pie. It is wonderful served with a little whipped cream and a cup of tea. I usually cut the butter back to 1/2 cup plus a little.

FRESH PEAR AND CRANBERRY PIE
Found this on MSN.com. It's something I want to try soon! There are directions for a pie crust, but i'm sure you could use your own favorite recipe or a premade one.
