YUMMY!! That’s so cool you made both at once!! I’m soooo going to have to try this! If the pears and the cranberries were very ripe there should be no problem. Ours was almost too sweet! lol! Maybe the cranberries or pears were still not fully ripe? That’s my only guess. But you can always add more sugar if you like a sweet pie. So cool!
I did sprinkle some sugar on top, but I didn’t measure. I probably didn’t have enough… Like I said the pear bites were amazing, but when you got a bite of cranberry you made that sour face. I just bought cranberries that come in a bag. I didn’t know they could ripen? Is that the right thing to use?
love the fact there’s two-in-one 🙂 they both look lovely!
I am hitting up a Farmer’s Market near L.A. Sunday…I think I am going to pick up ingredients to make both pies and take them to a get-together that I am attending Monday! I’ll tell you how it goes! THANKS for the inspiration!
Let me know if you want the recipe Loan.
Hello Jen,
Just discovered your site, it’s awesome! The squash pie sounds wonderful, do you think I could have the recipe Jen. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
