CRANBERRY CURD PIE WITH MERINGUE TOPPING
This is cranberry curd pie made easy with the addition of one surprisingly convenient ingredient - canned cranberry sauce. The curd has the ideal balance of tart and sweet, and once it's topped with a pillowy mound of meringue, the pie is a real show stopper. For extra flair, use a kitchen torch to brulee the meringue before serving. What's more, the pie can be made a day before serving, for a perfect make-ahead dessert when entertaining.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven according to the pie-dough package instructions for "Baked Shell." Unroll the pie dough, fit it into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp or decorate the edges as desired. Prick the bottom and sides of the dough with a fork and bake as directed. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Separate 4 of the eggs, reserving the egg whites for the meringue. Add the egg yolks, remaining 2 whole eggs, orange zest and juice, salt, 1/3 cup of the sugar and the jellied cranberry sauce to a medium pot. Add the butter, set the pot over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously, until the butter is melted and the curd has thickened and reached a temperature of 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a large bowl, then pour into the cooled pie crust. Bake until the curd is just starting to set but still jiggly in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let the pie cool to room temperature, about 1 hour, then refrigerate until the curd is chilled and completely set, at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, make the meringue. Beat the reserved 4 egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the cream of tartar and then gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, a spoonful at a time. Whisk on medium-high speed until the meringue is glossy and holds a stiff peak when the whisk is lifted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Dollop the meringue over the pie in an even layer. Use a kitchen torch if desired to brulee the top.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease 10" pan, put fruit in pan.
- Blend all remaining ingredients (except Powdered Sugar) for 3 minutes.
- Pour over Fruit. Let set for a few minutes. Bake 40 to 45 minutes.
- After Pie is cooled, dust with Powdered Sugar.
Tips:
- For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor and the shortening will help to keep the crust tender.
- Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent it from sticking to the counter and tearing.
- Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. If you press too hard, the crust will be tough.
- Trim the edges of the dough evenly before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking during baking.
- Brush the edges of the crust with milk before baking. This will help to brown the crust and give it a shiny finish.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
Conclusion:
Cranberry pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky crust and a tart and tangy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this impossible cranberry pie a try. You won't be disappointed.
