A few days after Thanksgiving I visited Derek and Robyn at their lovely seaside Portland home for some Christmas decorating and welcome-pie making for Artie, who was moving to Portland that evening. We decided to go with a rustic tart-tart of Bosch pear and cranberries, with not too much sugar, a bit of cinnamon, and a whole wheat (pastry flour) crust.
For the crust design, Derek used his fine cartographic skills to cut out an outline of the state of Maine--complete with islands and practically perfect lettering.
While it was baking, we joined Robyn in the dining room to string cranberries for the tree and watch at the window for Artie.
When he finally arrived in his new state, we whipped up some cream and entered the Pie Enjoyment Zone
