1¾ cups sugar |
1 tsp. vanilla |
| 4 cups raw cranberries | 4 eggs, separated |
| ¾ cup cold water | 2 Tbs. butter |
| 2 Tbs. flour | 4 Tbs. confectioner's sugar |
| ¼ tsp. salt | crust for one crust pie, baked |
In a large saucepan combine sugar and water. Cook until syrup is formed, not thick. Add cranberries and cook until they stop popping. Cool a little. In a bowl mix egg yolks, flour and salt until smooth; stir in 3 tablespoons juice from the cooked berries. Add this mixture to berries and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in butter and vanilla and cool. When cool pour cranberry mixture into baked pie shell. Make meringue by beating egg whites and confectioner's sugar until stiff peaks form. Put meringue all over cranberry mixture and brown in 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
