Categories     side dish

Time 1h

Yield 1 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 4

Pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie (see recipe)
2 cups venison mincemeat (see recipe) or commercial mincemeat
2 cups cranberry sauce (see recipe)
1 apple, peeled, cored and chopped

Steps:

  • Roll out 1/2 the pie crust and ease it into a 9-inch pie pan. Refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a bowl, combine the mincemeat, cranberry sauce and apple. Spread into the pie crust. Roll out the remaining dough and use it to cover the pie, sealing the edges with your fingers, and use a knife to cut a number of small vents in the top; alternatively, cut strips of dough and make a lattice top for the pie.
  • Bake the pie for 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Lower the oven temperature to 350 and continue to bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

2 firm-ripe Anjou pears, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
1/2 cup dried sour cherries
1/2 cup dried currants
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup walnuts (2 3/4 oz), toasted and finely chopped
Pastry dough for a double-crust pie

Steps:

  • Make mincemeat:
  • Stir together all ingredients except pastry dough and chill in an airtight container, stirring at least once a day for at least 3 days.
  • Make pie:
  • Put oven rack in middle position. Put a large baking sheet on rack and preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Roll out larger piece of dough (keep remaining piece chilled) on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 13-inch round, then fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Chill shell while rolling out smaller piece of dough for top crust.
  • Roll out smaller piece of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin into a roughly 16- by 11-inch rectangle. Cut crosswise into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips with a pastry wheel or a sharp knife. Stir mincemeat, then spoon into shell in an even layer. Weave a lattice pattern over pie with pastry strips.
  • Trim edges of strips flush with edge of bottom crust. Fold bottom crust up over edges of lattice and decoratively crimp.
  • Bake pie on hot baking sheet 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and cover edge of pie with a pie shield or foil if it begins to brown too quickly. Continue to bake until crust is golden brown and filling begins to bubble around edge, about 1 hour more. Transfer pie to a rack and cool to warm or room temperature, about 2 hours. Serve pie warm or at room temperature.

This is a variation of my recipe #79692.This uses whole cans or jars of ingredients so it's more user friendly, nothing left over.This will make 1 9" pie plus 26 tarts.

Provided by Dorel

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (700 ml) jar mincemeat
1 (398 ml) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 orange, zest of, size not important,rest of orange will be used later
1/3 cup orange liqueur or 1/3 cup orange juice (Cointreau is good)
24 -26 prepared tart shells (store bought is fine)
1 9 inch pie shell

Steps:

  • In saucepan, combine mincemeat and cranberry sauce, stir constantly till almost boiling on medium heat.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Grate orange zest, peel orange and chop segments.
  • Add orange zest, chopped orange and liqueur.
  • Spoon into tart shells and place on baking sheet.
  • Fill pie shell and use top crust or make fancy cut-outs with pastry.
  • Bake in preheated 400°F oven for about 20 minutes or until pastry is golden.
  • For pie bake for about 35 minutes.
  • I can only fit 1 pie and 1 sheet of tarts at a time in my oven so cooking time includes the 2nd pan of tarts while pie is still cooking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries: Fresh cranberries give the pie a tart and tangy flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries. Just thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the mincemeat: The mincemeat should be cooked until it is thick and bubbly. However, if you overcook it, it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate: A deep-dish pie plate will help to prevent the pie from overflowing.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will help the pie to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Mincemeat cranberry pie is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for the holiday season. With its sweet and tart filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give this mincemeat cranberry pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
