Pour the boiling water over the saucepan full of
vegetables and bring to a boil. Cook five minutes;

Wash cranberries and pick out the ones that are soft

for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the lid
and cook for five minutes more, stirring almost
constantly.

Add cooked drained potato/carrot mixture to
cranberries and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, stirring

Beat together the milk, eggs, cream cheese, a little
nutmeg and a dash of salt. Stir in the cooked
vegetable mixture and pour this filling carefully into
the prepared shell. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 40
minutes or until the top is golden and firm. Serve.

NOTES:

* Sweet potatoes, carrots and cranberries in cream
cheese quiche -- This recipe has become a real holiday
favorite in our family. It is originally from "The
Vegetarian Epicure, Book Two" by Anna Thomas. It is
sweeter than most quiches, but not as sweet as most
pies, and can be eaten either as a side dish, or as
dessert. We usually eat it with the turkey because no
one wants to wait until dessert time!

: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: 25 minutes preparation, 40 minutes baking.
