I did a bit of cooking this weekend. Yeah! I made this pie yesterday morning. It is the first time I've gotten to use my new food processor (that I got for Christmas). It came with a lot of great recipes & a demonstration CD of some of them, including this pie. I also made it because my dad has high blood sugar and the only sugar in this pie is the raw sugar on the top crust. I used canned pears instead of fresh just because I forgot to buy them and had the canned at home. Also, instead of dried cranberries, I used craisins with a blueberry infusion. And I added cinnamon to the crust and to the pie filling. And I forgot to buy lemon juice, so I used orange juice. Oh yeah, and it called for 16 tablespoons of butter & 2 of shortening (for the crust), but I hate shortening, so I used 18 tablespoons of butter. This is a really good pie. A 10!!! Notice my narcissistic design on the crust (my initials).
