DEEP-DISH PUMPKIN PIE WITH CRANBERRY MARMALADE

Steps:

• Up to 2 days ahead, prepare the Sugar Dough and Cranberry Marmalade
• Marmalada: (Makes about 1 cup).
• Put the sugar, water, orange zest, Grand Marnier, vanilla bean and seeds, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the cranberries, reduce the heat, and simmer until the berries have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside to cool for at least 30 minutes. Remove the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. If making in advance, transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
• SUGAR DOUGH: (Makes enough for 2 pies) (Freeze one).
• Put the flours, sugar, and salt in a food processor fitted with the stainless-steel blade. Pulse to combine.
• Add the butter and pulse 10 to 15 times, until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add the egg yolks and cream and pulse twice. Pulse in enough of the ice water to form a smooth but not wet dough.
• Gather the dough into a ball and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disk, wrap it individually in plastic wrap, and seal in an airtight freezer bag. Refrigerate 1 piece until ready to make the pie; freeze the other piece for another use.
• Assembly:.
• On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a 13-inch circle. Transfer to a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate. Gently press the dough into the plate and trim the edges with a small, sharp knife. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line the chilled pie shell with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully remove the paper or foil and weights; bake for 10 minutes more. Set aside on a wire rack to cool.
• Spread the Cranberry Marmalade evenly on the bottom of the pie shell.
• For the Pumpkin Filling, in a large mixing bowl combine the canned pumpkin, brown sugar, spices, salt, and pepper. With a wire whisk, thoroughly stir in the eggs, cream, half-and-half, and bourbon. Pour into the pie shell and smooth its surface with a rubber spatula.
• Bake the pie until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and leave to cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator before cutting into wedges and serving.

CREAMY PUMPKIN PIE WITH CRANBERRY TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F.
• Using an electric mixer, blend the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl to further soften it. Beat in the white sugar and the brown sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time.
• Add the vanilla extract, spices, salt, pumpkin, and cream, and blend the filling on a low speed until it is smooth.
• Pour the filling into the prepared/panned pie shell and bake the pie on the center rack for 30 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to 350° and continue baking until the pie puffs slightly around the edges and the center is no longer soupy, about another 20 minutes.
• Remove it from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Cover the pie and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours.
• To prepare the topping, blend the orange juice and cornstarch in a small saucepan until smooth. Stir in the cranberry sauce.
• Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring all the while. Let the filling boil for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups of the topping over the pie and smooth it up to the edges with a spoon. Pour the rest of the topping into a serving bowl.
• Chill the pie for 15 minutes before serving, and set out the remaining topping for those who prefer an extra-tart flavor.
