Fresh Cranberry Pie

Fresh Cranberry Pie

3 cups fresh cranberries
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 tablespoon grated oragne peel
Pastry for 2-crust 9-inch pie

Wash cranberries.  Place in a saucepan with sugar, water and salt.  Cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until skins pop.  Mix flour with the 1/4 cup water to form a smooth paste.  Gradually stir into the mixture.  Stir in butter and orange peel. Cool.  Turn into a pastry-lined 9-inch pie plate.  Top with 1/2-inch strips of pastry rolled 1/8-inch thick, placed in lattice-crust fashion.  Bake in a preheated hot oven 425 degrees, for 40 minutes or until crust has browned.  Cool before serving.

Yield: 1 9-inch pie
