Cranberry pies need very little spice. A little nutmeg, or cinnamon,
improves them. They need a great deal of sweetening. It is well to
stew the sweetening with them; at least a part of it. It is easy to
add, if you find them too sour for your taste. When cranberries are
strained, and added to about their own weight in sugar, they make very
delicious tarts. No upper crust.
