CRANBERRY PIE

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.

CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients, then add to pie crust. Add top crust and prick with fork. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and bake pie 10 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 degrees. Bake 40 minutes more.

PERSIMMON AND CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Put the diced persimmons, cranberries and 1 3/4 cups of the apple juice in a saucepan. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Heat over medium low heat until the cranberry skins split.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of apple juice with the 1/4 cup of cornstarch.
• Add the cornstarch/juice mixture to the persimmon mixture and stir until thickened.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the Splenda until well blended.
• Set aside to cool while you prepare the pie crust; put it in a 9" pie pan. If you're using pre-made pie crusts allow the mixture to cool until very warm but not hot.
• Put the mixture in the pie pan and top with the second crust in whatever manner you like. (I used free-floating pastry cut-outs).
• Bake at 400F for 30 to 40 minutes, until the filling is bubbly. Be sure to put a cookie sheet or sheet of aluminum foil on the rack below the pie to catch any drips. (Putting the pie directly on the cookie sheet will disrupt the flow of hot air around the pie).

CRANBERRY & PEAR PIES

Steps:

• To make the pastry, tip the flour, almonds and sugar into a food processor then pulse in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Pulse in up to 5 tbsp cold water until mixture comes together as a dough. Wrap in cling film and chill for 1 hr.
• To make the filling, tip the cranberries into a pan with the sugar and cornflour and stir well. Stir in the orange curd, then cook for a few mins until thickened. Add the pears and cook a few mins more, stirring frequently. Cool.
• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 with a large baking sheet inside. Roll out the pastry and use to line 8 x 10cm individual Yorkshire pudding tins (or 10cm individual tart tins). Spoon in the cooled filling. Roll out the rest of the dough and stamp out 4 x 9cm rounds to make lids. Cut out the centres with a medium star cutter.
• Carefully cover half the pies with the pastry lids and place the stars on a baking tray. Crimp the edges of each pie (if using straight edged tins) with your finger and thumb, brush the pies and stars with the egg then dredge with sugar. Bake the stars for 8-10 mins and the pies for 15-20 mins until golden. Dredge with more sugar once out of the oven. Place a star on the open pies and serve with cream or ice cream.

CHERRY CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut the butter into the flour until pieces are about the size of a large pea. Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time, tossing the mixture with a fork until the dough is shaggy and holds together, without being soggy. Form the dough into two discs, one slightly larger than the other. Wrap the discs tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight. (At this point the discs can stay in the fridge for up to three days if you need to do this part ahead.).
• Take the larger disc out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Roll the dough, on a lightly-floured surface, into a 12-inch circle. Fold it into thirds horizontally, then into thirds vertically. Re-wrap in plastic wrap and put it back into the fridge for 30-60 minutes. Repeat this step with the smaller disc.
• While the dough is chilling, make the pie filling. Drain the cherries, reserving 1 cup of the liquid. In a large saucepan combine 3/4 cup of the sugar, and the cornstarch. Stir in the reserved cherry liquid. Cook and stir over medium heat until it's thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir constantly for one minute after that. Remove from heat, and stir in the remaining sugar, almond extract, cherries, and cranberries. Set aside and allow to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, take the larger disc of pastry dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer to a pie pan and trim the edges 1 inch from the edge of the pan. Place the pan with the dough in the fridge, and roll out the other disc of dough into a 12-inch square. Cut it into strips about 1/2- to 3/4-inch wide. Remove the pie pan from the fridge and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour evenly onto the bottom crust. Spoon the cherry filling inches.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F Arrange the pastry strips into a lattice design over the top of the filling, and "glue" the strips to the bottom crust with a tiny amount of cold water. Trim off the excess, and roll the edges of the bottom crust up over the top, sealing it with just a bit of cold water. Flute the edges. Place the pie in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Then lightly brush the crust with milk, and sprinkle sugar over the top. Cover the edges of the pie with foil.
• Bake for about 20 minutes at 400 F, then reduce the temperature to 375 F and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. (Note: To keep the edges from burning, cover them with foil about halfway through baking time, or as soon as they have reached a desirable level of golden-ness.).
• Cool the pie on a wire rack before cutting and serving.

CREAMY CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Stir boiling water into dry gelatin in large bowl 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice.
• Add whipped topping and orange zest; beat with wire whisk until well blended. Gently stir in cranberry sauce. Refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes or until mixture is very thick and will mound. Spoon into crust.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Store leftover pie in refrigerator.

CRUSTLESS CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Grease one 9 inch pie pan.
• Combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
• Stir in the cranberries and the walnuts, and toss to coat.
• Stir in the butter, beaten eggs, and almond extract. If you are using frozen cranberries, the mixture will be very thick.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 40 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

APPLE CRANBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Bring cranberries, water and 6 Tbsp. sugar to boil in small saucepan on medium-high heat; simmer on low heat 8 to 10 min. or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
• Heat oven to 425ºF. Place pie crust in 9-inch pie plate, pleating edge as necessary to fit. Beat cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the remaining sugar, egg and vanilla in bowl with mixer until blended; spread onto bottom of crust. Cover with cranberry sauce.
• Peel apples; cut in half. Remove and discard cores. Place apples, cut sides down, on cutting board; cut into thin slices, being careful to not cut all the way through apple to keep all slices for each apple half intact. Arrange over cranberry sauce. Combine cinnamon and remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar; sprinkle over apples.
• Bake 28 to 30 min. or until apples are tender and edge of crust is golden brown.

CRANBERRY-LIME PIE

Steps:

• Crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Pulse cookies in a food processor until very finely ground (you should have about 1 cup). Add pecans; pulse until finely ground. Add butter and brown sugar; pulse to combine. Transfer to a deep 9" pie dish. Using a measuring cup, press firmly onto bottom and up sides of dish. Bake until firm and slightly darkened in color, 10-15 minutes. If crust slides down sides, gently press back up. Let cool.
• Filling and assembly:
• Bring 12 oz. cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat; simmer until cranberries burst and most of the liquid evaporates, 12-15 minutes. Let cool. Purée in a blender until very smooth.
• Cook purée, eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, lime juice, salt, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 tsp. lime zest in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (bowl should not touch water), stirring with a rubber spatula and scraping down sides of bowl often, until curd thickens and coats spatula, 8-10 minutes. Let cool until just warm.
• Using an electric mixer on medium-high, beat curd, adding butter a piece at a time and incorporating after each addition, until curd looks lighter in color and texture, about 5 minutes. Scrape into crust and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
• Bring 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add remaining 4 oz. cranberries and cook until barely starting to soften, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cranberries to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill until no longer sticky, 20-30 minutes.
• Toss remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp. lime zest in a small bowl. Toss cranberries in lime sugar. Top pie with cranberries; serve with whipped cream.
• Do Ahead
• Crust can be baked 1 day ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Pie (without topping) can be made 2 days ahead. Cover once filling is firm and keep chilled. Let sit at room temperature 2 hours before serving.

CRANBERRY PIE II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C.)
• In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat in eggs. Stir in melted butter. Fold in cranberries, then pour into crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until filling is set.

CRANBERRY CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Place pie crust on a rimmed baking sheet. Cook cranberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat, shaking pan occasionally, until some have begun to split and burst, 6-8 minutes. Drain off any excess liquid. Remove from heat and let cool (if you're in a rush, transferring to a baking sheet or medium bowl will help them cool faster).
• Combine sugar and salt in a large bowl, then add lemon zest. Use your fingers to rub zest into sugar until moist and fragrant. Whisk in cornmeal and flour, then add eggs and vigorously whisk until well combined, about 30 seconds, Whisk in cream, butter, and vanilla, then add lemon juice and whisk again. Set a few cranberries aside for the top. Gently fold in remaining cranberries with a rubber spatula, breaking up any clumps.
• Gently pour mixture into pie crust and dot reserved cranberries over top of custard (this makes for the most photo-worthy dessert). Bake pie until top is golden brown and set but custard still jiggles in the center (about a 3" radius), 60-70 minutes. If your pie isn't as brown as you'd like it, you can increase oven temperature to 350°F for the last 5-10 minutes. Transfer pie to a wire rack and let cool (custard will fall as it cools). Transfer pie to the fridge and chill at least 1 hour.
• Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar if using. For the cleanest slices, cut with a hot dry knife (just like if you were cutting cheesecake).
• Do ahead: Pie can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Return to room temperature to serve if you'd like.
