Cranberry Dreams


The Folks at Cape Code Select challenged me to come up with some recipes using their Premium Frozen Cranberries and here is what I came up with.






Thanksgiving Pot Pie
(Recipe makes 3 individual pot pies) 

1- two crust package of pie crust
1 cup diced cooked turkey

2 Tbsp sugar
1 cup Country Green Beans (See recipe (here )
1 cup dry stuffing mix
1 1/2 cup Turkey Gravy 

* In a saucepan saute cranberries and sugar
*Roll out 1 pie crust and use a shape to cut 2 circles big enough to fit in the ramekins, combine scraps and roll out again to cut 1 more bottom crust for a total of 3 
*In a bowl combine turkey, cranberries, dry stuffing, green beans and gravy and mix well
*Distribute filling among ramekins
*Roll out the other crust and cut 3 circle tops
*Roll edges of each crust under and flute. 
*Brush with an egg wash. (optional: add decoration from pie crust scrapes on top)
