Craisin For You Mixed Nut Pie

I wanted something rich and sweet. Crunchy and fruity. This is the result.

1 9 inch unbaked pie shell
2/3 cup of brown sugar
1/3 cup of melted butter
1 cup of dark corn syrup
1/2 tsp of salt
3 eggs
1/2 cup of pecan halves
1/2 cup of unsalted cashews
1/2 cup of slivered almonds
1/2 cup of craisins

Mix together melted butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs until thoroughly mixed. Fold in nuts. Spread craisins in bottom of unbaked pie shell. Pour in the nut mixture. Bake at 375 for 45 to 50 minutes until the center is set.

  1. I say this one is a winner! So glad I got to taste it at the party Friday night. Perfect combo of salty and sweet! Rich, but loved it with the red wine!

  2. Hey Marypie,
    Did the B. Crocker "rasp. swirl cheesecake" last night, but subbed cherry preserves for the rasps. Think I screwed up the "swirl" part and am worried I'll cut it open to find big glops of cherry not-so-mixed in... we'll see later tonight. Also, it took like 40 minutes longer to cook than expected...
