Her First Pie!

When organizing our over-flowing box of recipe cards, I came across a recipe for an easy and yummy Cranberry Pie. A simple yet delicious success, it is a great recipe for every aspiring chef.

 Requests being made frequently to help in the kitchen, Laura came running when she heard that I needed help...

and she made her very first pie!

Cranberry Pie

8oz. Cream Cheese, softened 

{made fresh from our abundance of real milk}

1c. Powdered Sugar

16oz. Jellied or Whole-berry Cranberry Sauce

8oz. Whipped Topping 

{made fresh from our abundance of real milk}

2 Graham Cracker Crusts {8"} Pie Shells

First she beat the cream cheese and sugar together and performed a taste test {I never need to ask her to do that!}. Then the little peanut opened the Cranberry sauce and stirred into the cream cheese and sugar mixture. {Taste test again}. I taught her how to {gently} fold in whipped topping and then we spooned the filling into the crusts {taught her a little math here: you have to split the filling in half to make two pies}. After tasting one last time, she put the lids on and we brought them to the freezer ~ until serving. 

What a happy little homemaker she is - and feels so successful, too.

Good job, Laura!
