Time 1h15m

Yield 6 - 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple juice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup finely ground walnuts
1 1/4 cups flour
2 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter, chilled and in small pieces
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the cranberries, three-fourths cup sugar, apple juice, one-half teaspoon cinnamon and cloves in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat about 15 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick like a jam. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Combine the walnuts, flour, cocoa, remaining one-fourth cup sugar, salt and remaining one-half teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl or a food processor. Add the butter, cut it in by hand or pulse it briefly in the food processor. Add the egg and water, mixing lightly to form a dough or, in a food processor, add the egg and water through the feed tube with the processor running.
  • Gather the dough together and divide it into two parts, one slightly larger than the other. Pat the larger part into a flattened circle and transfer it to an 8- or 9-inch round cake pan with a removable bottom. Pat the dough evenly into the pan to cover the bottoms and sides up to about one-and-a-half inches high. Spread the cranberry jam into the pastry shell.
  • Roll or pat the remaining dough into a rectangle about 8 by 5 inches. Slice it into about eight strips one-half-inch wide and arrange them over the cranberry filling in a lattice pattern, pressing the ends of the strips into the rim of the dough. Press a pattern into the rim of the dough with the tines of a fork.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake about 25 minutes longer, until the dough is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly.
  • Allow to cool, then dust with sifted confectioners' sugar before serving.
