New Year's Eve was spent snuggled up in bed, feasting on homemade cranberry and marzipan pie, macarons from Laduree, and fizzy pink hibiscus-flavoured wine (cheaper and tastier than Buck's Fizz, but no more sophisticated).
The pie was thrown together in a jiffy, in order to use up some leftover egg whites and bland shortbread. All you need are:
- some shortbread and butter (for the base)
- cranberries and marzipan (for the filling)
- and egg whites and sugar for the meringue.
Crush the biscuits and add butter to it, then place the mixture in the bottom of your pie tray. Cut up about 100gms of marzipan into bite-sized cubes, then add about the same amount of cranberries, and place them on top of the biscuit mixture. Make up your favourite meringue recipe, pour it over the pie and bake it. It's great on it's own, but a spoonful of plain ice-cream alongside never hurts!
It's not the most accurate recipe, but I wasn't taking note of the amounts I was using, because it was New Year's Eve and who can be bothered being pedantic with a pie on New Year's Eve?
happy new year ;) what great bakes u have to celebrate. Hope u r well girly. ;)
