This dessert from Laurie Colwin's More Home Cooking (Harper Perennial 2000) is easy, pretty and delicious.

For the Filling:

Butter, to grease a pie plate

2 cups chopped cranberries (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

For the Topping:

2 eggs

3/4 cup butter, melted

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Place the cranberries in a buttered, 9- or 10-inch pie plate. Toss the sugar and walnuts, and sprinkle over the berries.
