Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

1/2 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup butter (softened)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine the filling ingredients and stir to combine. Pour into a generously buttered 10" pie plate.
  • Combine the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Add the eggs and almond extract and beat again until fluffy. Add the flour and beat once more.

  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, test doneness with a toothpick, just to make sure the topping is cooked through. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!

Time 7h20m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup finely ground dehydrated unsweetened cranberries
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) very cold butter, cut into cubes
5 tablespoons very cold vodka
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup triple sec (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon unflavored powdered gelatin
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 teaspoon orange zest plus 1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup very cold heavy cream
1 large egg white
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Orange peel, cut into thin strips, for garnish
Sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the crust: Add the flour, cranberries, sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter, pulsing until you have pea-sized pieces. Mix together the vodka and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the vodka mixture to the flour mixture and pulse, adding more of the vodka mixture a tablespoon at a time as needed, until the dough comes together when gently pinched (you may not need to add all of it). Dump the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap, flatten into a disc and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Put the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll into a 1/4-inch-thick round. Use the rolling pin to help guide the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Press gently into the corners of the pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Arrange an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with the tines of a fork. Place a piece of parchment on top of the dough and fill with pie weights or baking beans. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the parchment and pie weights and bake until golden around the edges and light golden in the center, an additional 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.
  • For the filling: Add 2 tablespoons triple sec to a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over top; set aside.
  • Add the cranberries, orange zest and juice, ginger, 1/2 cup sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons triple sec to a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the cranberries begin to pop and break down, about 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved and combined. Transfer the mixture to a blender and let cool slightly, then puree until very smooth. Pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • When the mixture has cooled, add the heavy cream to a stand mixture fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high, streaming in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar slowly, until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Stir one-third of the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture to lighten it. Then fold the cranberry mixture into the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Add the filling to the pie crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
  • For the decorations: Before serving, beat the egg white together with 1 tablespoon water. Toss the cranberries in the egg white mixture, then drain completely using a wide-mesh strainer. Put the sugar in a medium bowl, add the cranberries and toss to coat completely. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to dry.
  • Pile whipped cream in the center of the pie, top with the cranberries and sprinkle with the orange peel strips.

SUGAR-CRANBERRY PIE



Sugar-Cranberry Pie image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon butter
5 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups shortening
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon butter
4 Anjou or Bosc Pears, peeled, cored, and cut into thin slices
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
1 bag (24 ounces) fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
Vanilla or nutmeg ice cream (optional)

Steps:

  • For the pie crust: Grease a pie tin with the butter. Clear and clean off a large, flat surface. Lightly flour the area.
  • Combine the 5 cups flour, sugar, and salt in a metal bowl. Work the shortening in with your fingers until the mixture is almost smooth. Add the ice water and continue to mix with your fingers.
  • Place the dough on the floured surface and cut in half. Reserve the second half. Using a rolling pin, roll out the first half so it is at least 4 to 5 inches wider than the pie tin. Gently place the dough into the pie tin and press it into the bottom and the sides of the tin. Pinch any excess at the top. Place the pan in the refrigerator to rest.
  • Roll the second half of the dough for the top of the pie. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate.
  • For the filling: Heat the butter in medium saute pan. Add the pears and saute until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup sugar and the cloves. Toss and remove from the heat to cool in a bowl.
  • Combine the remaining 1 cup sugar, lemon juice, 1 corn syrup, cornstarch, and orange zest and mix. Add the cranberries and toss to coat the fruit.
  • In the same saute pan and add the cranberry mixture. Saute quickly, 1 to 2 minutes, until the cranberries soften slightly and the ingredients meld together.
  • Combine the pear mixture and cranberry mixture in a bowl and refrigerate, uncovered, so it cools.
  • To assemble: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Pour the filling onto the bottom pie crust. Remove the top crust from the refrigerator and fold it onto the rolling pin. Roll the dough over the top of the pie. Pinch the top to make the edges fluted and sealed all around the pie. Use a pastry cutter or small knife to cut an opening in the center of the top. Fold back the dough so it looks like open pages of a book.
  • Place the pie in the center of the oven. Cook, undisturbed, for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to 375 degrees F. Cook for an additional 30 minutes. Lower the oven to 325 degrees F and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven to cool.
  • When cooled, sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top of the pie, cut into slices, and serve with ice cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor.
