Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries have a brighter flavor and more nutrients than frozen cranberries. If you can, buy fresh cranberries and freeze them yourself.
- Thaw the cranberries before using them: If you are using frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using them. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the cranberries: A sharp knife will help you to slice the cranberries evenly and avoid crushing them.
- Don't overcook the cranberries: Overcooked cranberries will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender.
- Let the pie cool before serving: This will help the pie to set and the flavors to develop.
