4 cups cranberries
4 tbsp. powdered sugar
1/c tsp. salt
4 eggs, separated
1 tbsp. corn syrup
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Cook the sugar and water into a syrup. Add the cranberries and cook until they
stop popping. Mix the flour, salt and egg yolks until smooth. Stir in 3 tbsp. of
the juice from the cooked cranberries. Then add to the berries and simmer for
three minutes. Stir in the butter and vanilla. Set aside to cool. Turn filling
