Crostata Di Noci E Mirtilli Rossi: Cranberry Walnut Tart
"This recipe comes from the 1998 Recipes of the Five Brothers: Volume I cookbook by Lipton. My mother made this once, and it was delicious. It is, however, very tart - so add more sugar to the cranberry filling if tart is not your thing. The recipe is for both the dough and the filling, and prep time includes 1 hour chill time."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I graduated with a B.S. in biology in May 2009. My minors were in chemistry and psychology. Most of my experiments take place in my kitchen these days.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember. I especially love baking, and I've recently (summer of 2009) started canning.
Other hobbies include thrift shopping, drinking good coffee or tea, reading (especially cookbooks, nonfiction, and memoirs), knitting, trashy Vh1 reality shows, and spending time with my long-term boyfriend and our three (count 'em, THREE!) medium to large cats.
