0.5 cup packed brown sugar
0.333 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoon finely snipped crystallized ginger
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
4.5 cup fresh or frozen unsweetened pitted tart red cherries

2 tablespoon sugar
0.5 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • In large bowl, stir together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, crystallized ginger, and orange peel. Add cherries and cranberries; toss gently to coat.

Wrap pastry circle around rolling pin; unroll into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate without stretching it. Trim pastry 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Pour fruit mixture into pastry-lined pie plate.
  • For lattice top, cut remaining rolled-out pastry into 3/4-inch strips. Twist strips and weave over filling in lattice pattern. Press ends of strips into bottom pastry rim. Fold bottom pastry over ends of strips; crimp edge. Brush pastry with milk and sprinkle with additional granulated sugar, if desired.
  • Place pie on baking sheet. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake for 30 minutes (50 minutes if using frozen fruit). Remove foil. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes more or until filling is bubbly 2 inches from edge and pastry is golden. Cool on wire rack. If desired, serve with Sweetened Whipped Cream or vanilla ice cream. Makes 8 servings. Pastry for Double-Crust Pie

For bottom pastry roll half of the dough into 13-inch circle. Sweetened Whipped Cream
  • In a chilled mixing bowl combine whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl).

CRANBERRY CHESS PIE



Cranberry Chess Pie image

A popular Southern dessert said to originate in England, chess pie consists of staple ingredients: eggs, butter, and sugar, bound with cornmeal, flour, or both. While some recipes rely on tangy buttermilk to offset the rich custard, this version uses lemon juice and barely cooked cranberries instead.

Yield Makes one 9" pie

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (9") store-bought or homemade prebaked pie crust
12 oz. fresh or frozen cranberries
1½ cups (300 g) sugar
¾ tsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. fine-ground cornmeal
1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, room temperature
½ cup heavy cream
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
1 tsp. vanilla extract
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
Powdered sugar (for serving; optional)

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.

CHERRY CRANBERRY PIE

Provided by Coppercloud

Categories     Pie

Time 4h50m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cold butter, cubed
6 -7 tablespoons cold water
2 (16 ounce) cans pitted tart pie cherries (not pie filling)
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup fresh cranberries or 1 cup frozen cranberries
1 tablespoon flour, for dusting the inside of the bottom crust
milk, for brushing on top
sugar, for sprinkling on top

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen cranberries and cherries. Fresh berries will give your pie the best flavor but frozen berries will work in a pinch.
  • If you're using frozen berries, thaw them completely before using. This will help prevent the filling from becoming too watery.
  • Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar. This will give the filling a nice balance of sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice to the filling. This will help to brighten the flavor of the berries and prevent the filling from becoming too sweet.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If you're using a pre-made crust, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk or egg wash before baking. This will help the crust to brown and become crispy.
  • Bake the pie at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.

Conclusion:

Cranberry-cherry pie is a classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this cranberry-cherry pie recipe a try.
