Pumpkin and Cranberry Pie
From the blogger: "What is it with classic holiday desserts and their love-or-hate quality? We have the Christmas pudding in Britain. The Americans have the pumpkin pie. Both loved or hated in equal measures. Christmas pudding is an over-fruited, over-boozed concoction which is weirdly steamed instead of baked.
"Pumpkin pie is a strange product: delightful shortcrust pastry case ruined by the bland and sickly at the same time, vegetable mush. Search ‘why I hate pumpkin pie’ and you get a thousand returns. Still invariably it rides out at Thanksgiving, Halloween, and festivities in between the two. But there are lovers too, of course, and for those I have tried my best zinging up a pumpkin pie with cranberries. What do you know? It is an improvement — and marrying the festive, autumnal couple clearly produces a stable relationship."

Do you use all-purpose or self rising flour in the pie crust part for this dessert? I like to use half whole wheat flour and half self rising, but everyone has their own way of doing it. I love that you put the orange juice in the recipe. I am ready to find out what pumpkin pie tastes like with cranberries. It sounds so delicious.
