Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg

- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Uncooked tart pastry or pie crust
Cooking Instructions
- Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and apple in a heavy saucepan.

- Add clementines, plus cranberries and pecans to the saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat until the cranberries burst. Cool.
- You can prepare the mixture in advance and use it in tarts or to make a pie with a latticed top.
- For the pie, cook at 400 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes. For tarts, cook at 400 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes (until the edges are slightly brown).
