I hope everyone has/had wonderful feasts! Karenw, what's the theme this year?
Friendsgiving is my time to experiment and I made two repeater recipes last weekend. Delish!
I did think that the tart might be better as pudding with a cookie garnish 
I drizzled a little maple syrup over the whipped cream for extra oomph. I also left the whole cranberries out of the jelly at the end. I guessed people wouldn't want to bite into a raw cranberry! I might mix the lime sugar with the warm roasted nuts next time to get it to adhere.

I may have to slip in some Golden Syrup. I also make my mom (and Betty Crocker's) oil pastry: easiest pie crust ever. I always upsize to make sure I have plenty to roll out or do cutouts or whatever: I make the 10-inch recipe for my 9-inch pie.
Maple-Pecan Pie BA 11/00
1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup pure maple syrup
3 large eggs
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (about 6 ounces), toasted
Make a 9-inch pie crust. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt in large bowl to blend. Mix in chopped pecans, pour filling into crust. Bake pie 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Continue to bake pie until filling is set in center, about 30 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature)

Oil Pastry
8 or 9-inch one crust
1 c plus 2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 c oil
2-3 tbsp cold water
10-inch one crust, 8 or 9 inch two crust
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 c oil
3-4 tbsp cold water
10-inch two crust
2 2/3 c flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 c oil
4-5 tbsp cold water
Mix together flour and salt in a bowl. Add oil and stir until it is the size of small peas. Sprinkle in water 1 tbsp at a time and stir until dough almost cleans sides of bowl. If too dry can add 1 -2 tbsp more oil, but not more water. [I've never had this be too dry. My mom always uses all the water, but I don't.] Gather into a ball. Divide in two if making a two-crust pie. I roll out between sheets of wax paper.
