Bar Harbor Cranberry Pie

This was awesome, but it is a bit sweet.

Excellent! When I told my husband what I had made he made a face and said “cranberry?!” He took a small slice to try and declared this is one of the best desserts you’ve made (and I make a lot!).

Great dessert ! I have never made anything with cranberries except the cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving meal. I am glad I came cross this recipe while fresh cranberries are still in season. I made a mistake by cutting the sugar down little bit (a habit with all sweet baked goods). As a result, the pie was a tad too tart. But we still enjoyed it with a dollop of whipped cream ( would be good also with some vanilla ice cream)

Fantastic flavour and OH so easy to make — I substituted the margarine and shortening for simple butter instead and it turned out perfect. I buttered the bottom and sides of the pie plate well and I was able to remove it easily. I drizzled the top with lemon pie filling just for added flavour but it certainly did not need it.

So sweet and tart, it fairly zings the taste buds! Made exactly as the recipe states, using frozen cranberries

I have been making this pie for years. I found the recipe as “cranberry Goodie Pie” in an elementary school cook book. It is easy and delicious. I double the cranberries and half the sugar, for my taste. Serves easily right from pie plate.

Awesome. Have made this several times and have never been disappointed.

Tried the variation of 1/2 cup cranberries and 1/2 cup blueberries with tbsp of orange zest in the batter. Also added a tsp of vanilla and a tbsp of orange juice. It was incredible! The recipe, as is, is great but add the blueberries and it is really a cut above. I also used a cake pan and, after cooling, flipped it over like an upside down cake. Perfect! Be sure to heavily butter your pan before baking and to loosen the edges of the cake before flipping over. Looks great – tastes even better!

This is the same exact recipe that my mother has used for years! It is so good and the crust has a consistency of a cookie crust. I make it a family tradition every Thanksgiving and Christmas! It is so good topped with whipped cream!

Do not make again!

Excellent and as easy as it gets eapecially if you prefer a tart pie. We had it with vanillia yogurt ice cream.

I made this for Thanksgiving and my family loved it! It is hard to make something that impresses my people because there are a couple of great cooks already. But my dad went on and on about how great this pie was and how it reminded him of his favorite cranberry muffins. I will definitely make this again and again! So easy too!

A major hit on thanksgiving, served with french vanilla ice cream. emmmmm goood

My grandma gave me this recipe almost 40 years ago, and I had misplaced it. I am so thankful for finding it!! A little bit sweet, a little bit tart, but so delicious!! We always have ours with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Her recipe called for walnuts, and more cranberries I believe. I’ll buy extra to put in the freezer now so we can have this again at Christmas! Thank you for sharing Amy!!

I got fresh cranberries in my farmers market basket last week and didn’t know what to do with them. I found this recipe and decided to try it. I completely forgot about the pecans, and it was still delicious. It’s sweet and tart and super-easy to make.

I tweeked this recipe by adding 1 tsp. orange zest, 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract, and substituting giant blueberries for half of the cranberries . . and WOW!!

What a fantastic pie! I made a New England Feast for the Superbowl – my husband is a diehard Pats fan and was devistated to watch the Colts this year. He is a Boston-native and loves cranberries. This was the perfect combo of sweet and tart. The only reason why I would give this recipe less than 5 stars is because the pie is hard to invert out of the pan after it is done. Granted, I did not fully seperate the pie from the sides before trying to flip. Next time I will grease the sides thoroughly, and this should do the trick. I am giving five stars because no other reviewers had a hard time – must be the learning curve! Thanks so much for this recipe!

I love this recipe. It is so easy and quick to make. I did not have pecans so I used chopped almonds and I forgot to add vanilla as other reviewers suggested and it was still excellent. I ate 3 peices in a row while it was still warm. I absolutely love the crust and the cranberries were not too sweet or tart. I will make this one of my regular recipes as long as cranberries are at the supermarket or in my freezer. Thank you for such a wonderfull recipe!

I made 2 of these pies to take to our family Thanksgiving dinner. I could not believe how fantastic they were. I was a little concerned by the amount of sugar in the recipe, but I didn’t feel the end result was too sweet. In fact, the tartness of the cranberries was the perfect finishing touch to our traditional turkey dinner. This one is definitely a keeper!

I made this as a Thanksgiving dessert and enjoyed it. The tartness of the cranberries was a good contrast with the sweetness of the dough. I added a tsp. of vanilla and left out the nuts (due to allergies).

This was simple to make and very good. I took it to an office party and received great reviews. Not too sweet and not too tart.
