My husband LOVES pecan pie...and it took me over a year to get them right. Still, I was not a fan of pecan pie until I tried this pie for Thanksgiving years ago. Everyone has asked for it every Thanksgiving since as well as Christmas, New Years, Easter, 4th of July and birthdays. It is sweet and tart from the cranberries and has a beautiful presentation even if you don't garnish it with anything else. I have also tried it with dark chocolate chips and it was wonderful.

12-24-2009: I baked this pie this morning - using one 9" Pillsbury rolled pie crust. Unable to find white chocolate chips and not wanting to use vanilla chips, I chose Hershey's Bliss candy (white chocolate with a creamy white chocolate meltaway center and opted for fresh cranberries. The garnish I chose was 1/2 cup pecan halves dipped in melted unsweetened chocolate bars (Ghirardelli, fresh cranberries and 1/2 cup plain pecan halves. I am a fan of chocolate pecan pie and this is now at the top. Beautiful presence, tart, rich and delicious!

I love pecan pie, but this version I love even more! It has sweet, a little bit of a bite from the cranberries, and the classic pecan flavor. I like to make these in little tart pie shells, not a large pie. I can better control the cooking through the center and get a perfect result each time! Plus, the individual pie shells make it perfect for geting a controlled serving size to each person and easy for taking to work for left overs!

I love cranberries, white chocolate and pecan pie. But was unprepared for the fruitcake flavor when you put all of these ingredients together. After my husband and I tasted it, we disposed of the evidence and I served ice cream for Christmas dessert instead.

Was excited to try this last year after finding the recipe online. Ended up making it twice - once with fresh cranberries and the second with frozen. Both pies tasted very well, though the frozen version ended up being sorta mushy and I would no longer recommend using frozen cranberries. This year, I tried the recipe for a third time and found that the trick with using fresh cranberries is to chop them finely using a food processor. Totally made a difference and it turned out even better than last year's fresh cranberry version that wasn't as finely chopped. As pointed out by previous reviewer, loved the combination of tartness and sweetness. Amazing with a hot cup of coffee!

This pie was so simple to make. The first time I let it cook too long before I put tin foil over as not to burn it. It was practically overflowing from the crust, so watch your measurements! In the end it was sweet with that zing of cranberry... a new tradition for our family.

Fantastic pecan pie recipe and so easy to make! The cranberries really give this pie punch,I made it for two Thanksgiving celebrations and it was a hit with everyone.Hint: I had to cook it 15-20 mins longer than the recipe states.

I tried to make this pie twice yesterday but each time the inside was still liquid after baking! The second time I tried adding a little bit more flour in hopes of a more solid pie but to no avail.

I think the recipe needs to be rewritten or revamped because I followed it exactly the first time and only changed it a little with the flour the second time, but it did not turn out either time.

I think the cooking time is off (it takes a little longer, but I am giving this a 5 star rating based on the first time I made it. I love cranberries and their tartness cuts down on the sugar. The white chocolate is very subtle. If you didnn't tell someone it was in there they probably wouldn't know. THe second time i made it it was soup despite cooking it way longer. The only thing I can think I did was maybe a little more cranberries and not enough flour to thicken their juice. DOn't make that mistake!
