I found this recipe in a November 1993 Gourmet magazine 4 months after I was married, it is credited to the wonderful food writer Laurie Colwin. I made it for my first Thanksgiving as a married lady and have made it every year since. It is simple and delicious
Nantucket Pie is a vintage New England recipe which isn’t even a pie. It’s a simple sponge cake loaded with fresh cranberries and walnuts made like an upside-down cake.
It’s so simple to make and it highlights fresh cranberries. Honestly, everyone I know that has tried this “pie” wants the recipe. It’s just one of those things. The taste is unique and it’s just such a perfect recipe for fall, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
This dessert is incredibly easy to make, turns out perfect again and again and again and it’s just SO pretty and festive!
