I copied this recipe from a magazine. I can't recall which one and I can't find this recipe on line. But it is truly a wonderful combination resulting in a new taste--not cranberry or pear. Have I mentioned how much I like this?
CRAN PEAR PIE
Pie Dough Prep
Roll out pie dough and make base in a 9 inch pie pan. Roll out another circle of dough on waxed paper and place in freezer for 5 minutes to chill. Use cookie cutters to make shapes for pie top and put back in freezer until ready to use.
Pie Filling
1/2 tsp lemon zest
2 T lemon juice
3 lb. Bosc pears, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch chunks
1 c. fresh (or frozen) cranberries, chopped in food processor
3 T cornstarch
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
3/4 c. sugar
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and place on top of dough lined pie plate.
Dot with 1 T. butter. Top pie with dough cut outs and brush with cream. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in pre-heated oven at 425 degree for 20 minutes and then reduce heat to 350 for 1 hour. Cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
