Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Filling:
2 pounds firm Bartlett pears, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
1 2/3 cups fresh cranberries (6 ounces)
1 cup sugar
2 (1- by 3-inch) strips orange zest, finely chopped
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
Biscuit topping:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
Accompaniment:
Citrus-Infused Custard Sauce
Special Equipment
2- to 2 1/2-quart shallow baking dish (1 1/2 - to 2-inches deep); 2-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third. Butter baking dish.
  • Stir together pears, cranberries, sugar, orange zest, brandy and allspice in a large bowl. Transfer filling to baking dish and dot with butter.
  • Cover dish tightly with foil and bake 20 minutes.
  • Remove foil and continue to bake until cranberries burst and pears are just tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
  • While filling is cooking, make biscuits:
  • Stir together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, then add 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons cream and stir just until a dough forms. Gather dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly floured surface (dough will feel dense and heavy; don't worry.)
  • Gently knead dough 6 times, then pat out into an 8-inch round (about 1/3-inch thick).
  • Cut out as many rounds as possible with lightly floured cutter, transferring to a sheet of wax paper. Gather scraps and pat out once more, then cut out more rounds. (You will have about 16).
  • Carefully but quickly, top hot fruit with biscuits, arranging in 1 layer. Brush biscuits with remaining tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Continue to bake cobbler until biscuits are puffed and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 15 minutes before serving and top with Citrus-Infused Custard Sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cranberries. Fresh cranberries are the best choice for this sauce, as they have a tart and tangy flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Use a variety of citrus fruits. This sauce is traditionally made with oranges, but you can also use grapefruits, lemons, or limes. Using a variety of citrus fruits will give the sauce a more complex flavor.
  • Add some sweetness. Sugar is the traditional sweetener for this sauce, but you can also use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. If you're using a low-sugar or sugar-free diet, you can omit the sweetener altogether.
  • Add some spices. Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger can add a warm and festive flavor to this sauce. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Cook the sauce until it thickens. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, continue cooking it over low heat until it thickens.
  • Serve the sauce warm or cold. This sauce can be served warm or cold. If you're serving it warm, be sure to reheat it gently over low heat until it's just warmed through.

Conclusion:

Citrus cranberry sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It's perfect for Thanksgiving dinner, but it can also be enjoyed year-round. With its bright and tangy flavor, this sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
