Instructions: Have you ever tried a cranberry pie? I hadnt, and its not likely that you have either. In Colonial times this was a populartreat, using the native American berries.

Preheat the oven to 400 . Wash and pick over cranberries; drain thoroughly. Chop cranberries and mix with sugar and cornstarch. Mix egg and almond extract and combine with cranberries. Line a 9-inch pie plate with half the pastry. Add cranberry mixture. Cover with strips of pastry arranged in a lattice, and seal edges. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and continue baking about 35 minutes, or until cranberries are soft and pastry is browned.
