Sky in the Pi(e)

Celebrate Pi Day with this creative yet simple (simply delicious!) fruit pie.
The idea: Pi = C/D (Circumference over Diameter)
OR PERHAPS
C/D=Cranberries over Dates?
The sweet cloying indulgence of dates mixed with the tart bite of fresh cranberries makes one fantastic treat!

Step 1: Ingredients

Pie dough: Enough for a top and bottom crust. I make my own, but store bought versions tend to be surprisingly tasty as well.
Cranberries:2.5 cups, frozen
Dates: 2.5 cups, fresh
Sugar: 1.25 cups
Cornstarch: 3 tablespoons
Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Butter: 2 tablespoons

This looks really interesting. Do you think it would be possible to use dried dates?

Thanks for sharing, and good luck on the contest! Also, congrats on publishing your first instructable!

Thanks so much!
I'll bet dried dates would work just fine. You'd just need to rehydrate them by covering them with warm water and letting them sit in it for about an hour. After they're drained they should be good to go!

This looks great - I bet dates and cherries go great together!
