Nantucket Cranberry Pie

This one is from my Mom, Linda Capaldi Bagnal.  I am not sure where she got it, but we have enjoyed it for years.  It is definitely the time of year for cranberries although you can freeze a bag of berries and make this any time of year.  I am not a big cake person, but I love pie and this one is soooo good.

Nantucket Cranberry Pie
2 C raw cranberries
1/2 C sugar
2 C chopped walnuts or pecans


3/4 C melted margarine
1 C sugar

1 C flour
1 tsp almond extract
2 eggs, beaten

Grease a 10" pie plate.  Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.  Wash and pick over the berries.  Put the berries in the bottom of the greased pie plate.  Mix half a cup of sugar and the nuts and sprinkle over the berries.  Mix the remaining cup of sugar with melted margarine and then add the flour and almond extract.  Add the beaten eggs and stir until smooth.  Pour this over the ingredients in the pie plate.  Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 minutes or until the crust is a light brown.
