Cranberry Chiffon Pie Recipes

Steps:

• For the crust: Add the flour, cranberries, sugar and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter, pulsing until you have pea-sized pieces. Mix together the vodka and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of the vodka mixture to the flour mixture and pulse, adding more of the vodka mixture a tablespoon at a time as needed, until the dough comes together when gently pinched (you may not need to add all of it). Dump the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap, flatten into a disc and wrap tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Put the dough on a lightly floured work surface and roll into a 1/4-inch-thick round. Use the rolling pin to help guide the dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Press gently into the corners of the pie plate and crimp the edges decoratively. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Arrange an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Prick the bottom of the dough all over with the tines of a fork. Place a piece of parchment on top of the dough and fill with pie weights or baking beans. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the parchment and pie weights and bake until golden around the edges and light golden in the center, an additional 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely.
• For the filling: Add 2 tablespoons triple sec to a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over top; set aside.
• Add the cranberries, orange zest and juice, ginger, 1/2 cup sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons triple sec to a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until the cranberries begin to pop and break down, about 10 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved and combined. Transfer the mixture to a blender and let cool slightly, then puree until very smooth. Pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
• When the mixture has cooled, add the heavy cream to a stand mixture fitted with a whisk attachment. Beat on high, streaming in the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar slowly, until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Stir one-third of the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture to lighten it. Then fold the cranberry mixture into the remaining whipped cream until no streaks remain. Add the filling to the pie crust. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to overnight.
• For the decorations: Before serving, beat the egg white together with 1 tablespoon water. Toss the cranberries in the egg white mixture, then drain completely using a wide-mesh strainer. Put the sugar in a medium bowl, add the cranberries and toss to coat completely. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to dry.
• Pile whipped cream in the center of the pie, top with the cranberries and sprinkle with the orange peel strips.

Steps:

• For crust:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch deep-dish glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter in small bowl. Press crumb mixture over bottom and up sides of prepared dish. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool on rack.
• For filling:
• Place 1/4 cup water in small bowl; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Whisk egg yolks, 1/3 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon peel in top of double boiler to blend. Cook over barely simmering water until custard thickens, whisking frequently, about 6 minutes. Transfer to large bowl. Add gelatin to hot custard; whisk to dissolve. Place over bowl of ice water; stir until cool and thickened but not set, about 12 minutes.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in another large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar; beat until stiff but not dry. Fold egg white mixture into custard in 2 additions. Using electric mixer, beat cream in medium bowl until peaks form. Fold into lemon mixture. Transfer filling to cooled crust. Cover with plastic and chill overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
• For topping:
• Stir sugar and 1/3 cup water in medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high; bring to boil. Add cranberries; cook until half have popped, about 5 minutes. Add jelly; stir until melted. Cool to room temperature. Gently spoon topping over pie. Chill at least 30 minutes to set. (Can be made 4 hours ahead; keep refrigerated.)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate until slightly thickened. Fold in the whipped topping and 2 cups of strawberries. Pour into the crust. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set. Garnish with the remaining strawberries.

Steps:

• In pot over high heat combine cranberries, raspberries, 1 3/4 cup sugar and 1 cup water.
• Bring to boil.
• Cook until mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat, cool slightly.
• In blender, puree until smooth; strain and discard solids.
• Transfer to bowl.
• In microwave-safe bowl mix juice and gelatin; let stand 5 minutes.
• Microwave on high until dissolved, 15 seconds.
• Stir into cranberry mixture.
• Fill larger bowl half-way with ice.
• Set bowl of cranberry mixture in ice-filled bowl; cool, stirring frequently, until room temperature, 10 minutes.
• Remove.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups cranberry mixture into crust; freeze 15 minutes.
• At high speed beat 1 1/2 cups cream until soft peaks form; gradually fold into remaining cranberry.
• Spread 2 cups whipped cream mixture over gelatin mixture in pie.
• Refrigerate pie and remaining filling 30 minutes.
• Mound remaining whipped cream mixture over pie.
• Refrigerate until set, 4 hours.
• At high speed beat remaining cream and sugar until stiff peaks form; if desired, transfer to pastry bag filtered with star tip.
• Pipe rosettes or spoon whipped cream over pie.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Garnish with dragees and cranberries just before serving, if desired.

Steps:

• * Heat oven to 350° F. Combine ingredients and press into a 10-inch pie plate. Bake 10 minutes. Filling:*Combine 1 cup cranberry juice, cranberries, and 1/3 cup sugar in saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until berries soften. Cool. Combine honey, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup cranberry juice in separate saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over top let soften 5 minutes. Heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is thoroughly dissolved, about 5 minutes. Cool. Add cooked cranberries and juice to cooled mixture mix well. Set pan over bowl of ice cubes and stir occasionally until gelatin thickens just enough to mound when dropped from a spoon. Fold in whipped cream. Beat egg whites until frothy add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes. Fold into cranberry mixture. Spoon into cooled, baked shell and chill several hours until set.
