Mini Holiday Fruit Pies
Ingredients
  • 1 Recipe Butter Pastry, recipe below
  • 1 12 ounce bag fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 - 3 teaspoons  finely shredded orange peel
  • 1 cup  orange juice
  • 1/2 cup  golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup  dried cranberries
  • 1 cup  sugar
  • 2 tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon  sugar
  • 1/4 cup  caramel-flavored ice cream topping
  • Sliced kumquats and sage leaves (optional)
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. Divide pastry into 8 portions. On lightly floured surface roll four of the portions into 7-inch circles and four into 6-inch circles. Line four 4-3/8- to 5-inch foil or metal tart pans with the 7-inch circles; trim pastry even with rim.

4. Reserve 1/2 cup cranberry filling. Divide remaining cranberry filling among pans. Cut remaining 4 6-inch circles 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. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack at least 1 hour before serving. To serve, stir 1/4 cup caramel-flavored ice cream topping into reserved filling. Use to top pies; add sliced kumquats and sage leaves, if desired. Makes 4 pies, 2 servings per pie.
