Cranberry Pie





1 1/3 cups white sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3 eggs
1/4 cup melted butter
1 12 oz package cranberries

1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C.)
In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat in eggs. Stir in melted butter. Fold in cranberries, then pour into crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until filling is set.


This makes a custard-like pie. For a more traditional berry pie, omit eggs and substitute 1/2 cup orange juice. Bake in a double crust at 425 for ~30 min.


Can also add chopped walnuts to pie filling.
