This Shaker-style pie uses the whole fruit, rind and all. To get the best flavor, choose lemons and oranges with very thin skins. Ingredients:
2 medium thin-skinned oranges, washed |
1 lemon, washed |
2 cups sugar |
all-purpose flour, for dusting |
pate, brisee |
4 large eggs |
1 large egg yolk |
1 tablespoon heavy cream |
2 cups fresh cranberries |
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
1 orange, zest of |
1 cup sugar |
1/4 tps. ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Cut oranges and lemon into paper-thin slices, and remove seeds. Cut all but 4 slices of the lemon and 4 slices of the orange into eighths. Place the rings and slices into a plastic container; add sugar, mix gently, and refrigerate overnight.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8'-inch thick; drape over a 10-inch pie pan. Create decorative edge as desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or until chilled.
3. Heat oven to 400°F Drain fruit, reserving syrup. Separate whole slices from cut pieces, and set aside.
4. Combine whole eggs and citrus syrup in the bowl of an eletric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium high until pale yellow and fluffy, 5 minutes. Remove from mixer; stir in orange and lemon eighths. Pour into shell; top with reserved fruit slices.
5. In a small bowl, mix egg yolk and cream. Using a pastry brush, gently brush dough edges with egg-yolk mixture. Place pie on baking sheet; bake 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350F; continue to bake 35-40 minutes more, until pie is set. Let cool completely on a wire rack, 2-3 hours. Serve with compote.
6. CRANBERRY COMPOTE: Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries start to pop but are still whole. Transfer to a bowl to cool; serve.
