Cranberry Pecan Pie

Tart cranberries complement the typically sweet pecan pie in this wonderfully unique version of the pecan pie recipe.

The first known pecan pie was created by the New Orleans French.  It is a uniquely American dessert, mostly popular in the Southern states of Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and Oklahoma where the classic pecan pie is part of the Official State Meal.

This recipe is courtesy of the Marion Farr, Midland County, Texas Cooperative Extension.
