A New Pie

Two weeks ago,

I received a Magnolia magazine in the mail.

I love the work of Chip and Joanna Gaines as they renovate houses.

I love their seeming emphasis on family and home.

In this free copy,

there was a new recipe.

One for PIE.

I had to try it.

With permission from the hubby (since it only had 1/2 c of sugar),

I attacked it.

It was a success - especially since it wasn't sticky sweet
and we did not have to feel bad enjoying it.

Pear-Cranberry Pie

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

6 ripe, yet still firm pears, cored and sliced (2 to 2 1/2 pounds total)

1 cup fresh or thawed frozen cranberries

Mix all ingredients.

Place in double pie crust.

Bake 375* for 65-70 min.
