I think it's critical to let this pie sit for several hours, preferably overnight, before serving. I had a piece a few hours after baking, when it was still barely warm, and I didn't like it much; the flavor was too biting and acidic. But today, now that it is absolutely, completely cooled (and very nicely firmed up), the flavor is full, but milder, and so much better. I doubled the filling recipe for my big, very deep pie dish, and it worked great. I also substituted tapioca for the flour.

Ingredients

  • 1  Recipe Butter Pastry, recipe below
  • 1  12-oz. bag fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries
  • 2  to 3 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
  • 1  cup orange juice
  • 1/2  cup golden raisins
  • 1/2  cup dried cranberries
  • 1  cup sugar
  • 1/4  cup all-purpose flour
  • 1  egg, lightly beaten
  • 2  to 3 tsp. sugar

Directions

1. Prepare Butter Pastry.

2. In saucepan combine cranberries, orange peel, orange juice, raisins, and dried cranberries; bring to boiling over medium heat. Cook, uncovered, 3 minutes. In bowl combine sugar and flour; add to saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat.

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. On floured surface, roll one dough portion to 12-inch circle. Wrap pastry around the rolling pin. Unroll into 9-inch pie plate. Pour in filling. Trim bottom pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge.

4. On floured surface, roll remaining dough to 13-inch circle; cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Weave strips over fruit filling in lattice pattern. Press strips into bottom pastry rim. Seal and crimp edge, if desired. Brush with egg and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.

5. Cover edge with foil. Bake 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 20 minutes more or until top is nicely browned and filling is bubbly. Let stand at least 1 hour. Makes 8 servings.

Butter Pastry: In a large mixing bowl combine 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Using fork, cut in 1/3 cup chilled shortening and 6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces until crumbly. Using fork, stir in 8 to 9 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough just starts for form. Knead 2 or 3 times in bowl. Divide in half. Form halves into 2 discs. Wrap with plastic wrap; chill at least 30 minutes.
