“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."

Jo's Cranberry Pie Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 Vanilla Wafer Crumb Crust, (see recipe)
1 tbsp granulated gelatin
2 cups cold water
3 cups raw cranberries
1/4 tsp grated orange rind
1/4 tsp pure orange extract
Sugar substitute equal to 10 tspns sugar
= (15 packets)
1 1/2 cups frozen whipped topping

Recipe Instructions:

Make crumb crust according to recipe and chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours before filling.

Soak gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water; set aside.

Pick over fresh or frozen cranberries, wash, and measure; put in a deep, heavy saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water and orange rind. Cook over moderate heat until all cranberries pop, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat. Stir in gelatin, orange extract and sweetener; mix until gelatin is dissolved.

Let cool for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste to see if enough sweetener has been added because cranberries vary greatly in tartness. Spoon carefully and slowly into pie crust and smooth evenly with the back of a spoon.

Chill in refrigerator. When cool, spread whipped topping on pie, smoothing and swirling evenly.

Chill in refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

This recipe yields 8 servings.
