Cranberry and Avocado Salsa
Avocado is one of my favorites foods. I think I’d eat it on just about anything. Can you believe that as of a couple years ago I had never had avocado. Never had quacamole or anything. Believe me, I’m making up for lost time now!
This salsa comes together in just a few minutes, tastes amazing, and has pretty festive holiday colors. What more could you ask for? I definitely recommend making it at some point soon! It was a HUGE hit at our holiday party.
The hardest thing about this recipe was just cutting the cranberries in half. Seriously! Those little round berries just don’t want to sit still. I didn’t want to slice each one individually, and I don’t have one of those chopper thingies, so I got a little creative. I used the ring from my springform pan to contain the berries. Then I used my bench scraper to chop them. It worked pretty well for me!

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Made this pie over the weekend. My pie pan was 9.5 and the filling looked a tad skimpy. I added cut out leaves on the crust border. It tasted as amazing as it looked. My family now has adopted this pie and renamed it to: Thanksgiving Pie. They joked about putting the pie between two pieces of turkey and adding a dollop of mashed potatoes and have a totally fantastic Thanksgiving meal. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I follow your blog and look forward to trying more things. I shared a picture of my pie on facebook.
