Thanksgiving Week Idea #4 - My Family's Favorite Cranberry Recipe!

And here it is...

Shari's Cranberry and Pear Crisp

(I always make a double recipe, which fits a 14" x 8" casserole dish.  This is the amounts for a single recipe - 9" x 9" casserole dish)  - The topping has already been doubled - so you don't need to worry about that!

Filling:

1 bag of fresh cranberries

2 large pears, unpeeled and sliced

1 cup sugar (don't cut the sugar - you will be sorry!)

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Topping:

1 stick of softened butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal

1 cup chopped nuts

2 T flour

Mix filling ingredients and place in a greased 9" x 9" baking dish.

Cut together topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of fruit filling.

Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.  Let it cool for about 10 minutes before you serve it.

You can serve this warm or cold. 

We use it as a side dish, but it can also be a dessert.

Enjoy!
