Cooking
I'm not much of a cranberry person.
I'll drink the juice; fine. But I don't eat them.
And I don't eat most pies: I have this issue with cooked fruit, or fruit in things.
(But give me a peanut butter pie, and I'm there, fork in hand)
However, I found a recipe for Cranberry Lattice Tart in the December 2004 issue of Bon Appetit, and wanted to give it a try.
I rarely make pies; I have very little experience making crusts (I'm more of a cake and cookie gal), but I know the more I do it the better I'll get at it.
Interesting crust recipe...it used hardboiled egg yolks! That was weird. But the crust smelled really good...since I gave the tart to my in-laws, I have no idea how it tastes; I'm still waiting for the report.
I think it came out rather nicely.

For Mother's day this year, I decided to give my mother-in-law something different. I usually come over with something chocolatey and rich. So this time, fresh and light; a Mixed Fruit Tart. A very short crust, with a delightful-smelling filling...
