How to Make Cranberry Surpise Vegan Style

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 2-quart oven-safe casserole dish, combine 12 ounces fresh cranberries over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup cranberry juice concentrate.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  5. Add 1 teaspoon almond extract and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the cranberries begin to pop.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. In a food processor, blend 1 (14-ounce) package firm or extra-firm tofu until smooth.
  8. Add 1/2 cup prune puree, 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the food processor.
  9. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  10. Pour the cranberry mixture into the prepared casserole dish (or leave it in the dish if you cooked it there).
  11. Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over the cranberries.
  12. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup slivered almonds and 2 tablespoons brandy.
  13. Simmer for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped pecans.
  14. Spread the almond-pecan mixture evenly over the pumpkin layer.
  15. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
  16. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and the filling is bubbling.
