Recipe Card
ingredients
- 2 cups Cranberries
- 3 sprigs Rosemary
- 2 servings Blood oranges
- 3 servings Bosc pears
- 2 pkg Pre-made pie crusts
- 1/12 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/18 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons White sugar
- 1/8 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1/2 cups AP flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Method
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 350. In a large pot, pour into 2 cups cranberries.Slice the pears, add those to the pot. Zest the oranges and add the blood orange zest.
Step 2
Add the juice of one orange, along with the sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Finely chop one sprig rosemary, add this.
Step 3
Add one whole spring rosemary to pot. Turn on heat to medium high and cook down until a thick-jam like consistency; cranberries should no longer be whole.
Step 4
Butter and flour a pie dish; roll out one disk of the pie dough. Remove whole spring rosemary from filling. Pour in the filling. (NOTE: you can of course make your own pie crust if you prefer as I do; I just use a generic online pie crust recipe with flour, butter, salt and ice water. Tip: to be able to better work the dough for braids and art, add a half tablespoon apple cider vinegar to your crust!)
Step 5
Use Williams Sonoma fall pie cutters to do any design on top. Use excess to put pie dough on top of and cut out pieces.
Step 6
Bake at 350 degrees, for 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. May want to bake on top of a sheet tray in case fruit bubbles and drips over.
