CRANBERRY ORANGE TASSIES



Cranberry Orange Tassies image

I love tassies! They are like the perfect little bite of pie, but sort of a cookie all at the same time. I got this recipe from one of the special holiday cookie publications that you see at the checkout counter. I somehow always get sucked into buying them! I have also made these with dried cherries and dried blueberries. I haven't decided which is my favorite, I love all three. I am going to post the recipe as written, which calls for refrigerated pie crust. However, I have used the dough from Recipe #118431 and it worked just fine.

2/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
3 ounces white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Combine water and cranberries in a small saucepan, bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit for 3 minutes. Drain well and let cranberries cool to room temperature. Stir in marmalade, walnuts, and white chocolate and set the filling aside.
  • Per the package instructions, let the piecrust stand at room temperature. Unroll the crust and cut out 24 rounds usings a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter.
  • Preheat oven to 375*F. Using a tamper press the dough into ungreased mini-muffing pans (you can also press the dough by hand, but the tamper makes things go much faster.).

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the dough tough.
  • For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries and oranges. If fresh cranberries are not available, you can use frozen cranberries that have been thawed.
  • Be sure to drain the excess moisture from the cranberries before adding them to the filling. This will help prevent the filling from becoming too runny.
  • If you don't have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin. Just fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  • The tassies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the tassies for up to 2 months. To freeze, place the tassies in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Then transfer the tassies to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These Cranberry Orange Tassie are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy hosts and hostesses.
