This crustless pie is a simple farm recipe that starts with the most basic of staples: flour, sugar, butter and eggs. It’s perfect for the holidays since it may be made a day or two ahead and kept in a cool place until needed; besides, it’s very moist and easier to slice when cool.
The recipe also works well with dried cranberries, blueberries or pitted sour cherries. It can be baked in an 8-inch pie plate and cut in thin wedges, or in a 9-inch square cake pan and served in thick slices, or in a rectangular pan, as shown, and spooned out. Dust a little confectioners’ sugar on top if you like.

- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
