Hello lovelies,
If you’ve been around here recently, you’ll have seen I went a little berry mad this year with my bakes. I have been really enjoying creating delicious recipes using all different types of berries.
One berry I haven’t actually used in my bakes before is cranberries. Do you know what? I don’t even think I’ve tried a cranberry before (mum, do correct me if I’m wrong, we all know I’ve got the memory of a gold fish haha) let alone created any recipes with them. As a baker, you’ve got to know what pairs well with what so honestly, I just didn’t have a clue how to bring out the best in the cranberries.
I know cranberries are used around this time of year especially, so when I was scrolling through Pinterest and saw some festive cranberry recipes, I knew it was time to give them a go.
I’ve trialled this recipe (as you can see) and boy, I now know what I was missing out on! These are little red balls of deliciousness… and used in this recipe… UN-BLOODY-REAL.

How To Make Your Cranberry Pie:

- Secondly, in a large bowl, mix together the 250g of cranberries, 100g white-granulated and 80g of pecans.
- Pour the cranberry pecan mix into the bottom of the buttered dish.
- Next, in another large bowl, beat together the 170g of butter with 201g of caster sugar until smooth.
- Add in the 2 beaten eggs and 2tsp of almond extract and beat again until fluffy.
- Then, add in the 150g of plain flour and beat once more until all incorporated.
- Using a icecream scoop (or tablespoon whatever you prefer) dollop spoonfuls of the batter across the top of the cranberries. With the back of a spoon or a spatula, spread the batter over the cranberry mixture.
- Once your pie is finished, place into the oven and cook for around 45-50 minutes or until a skewer placed into the centre of the pie comes out clean.
- Finally, when your pie has baked, take out the oven and leave in the dish to cool completely.

Honestly, this is delicious! You could add any kind of berries you like if cranberries isn’t you thing, I’m sure it will taste just as yummy! Thank you so much for commenting Xo
This looks brilliant! I don’t think I’ve ever had a cranberry pie before – I’ve only ever had cranberry sauce, cranberry juice and cranberries by themselves. I love how festive this recipe is 🙂
