2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight., In a Dutch oven, mix sugar and flour; stir in fruit, orange zest, orange juice and spices. Bring to a boil.

Roll larger portion of pastry dough between two pieces of waxed paper into a 16x12-in. rectangle. Remove top piece of waxed paper; place a 13x9-in. baking pan upside down over pastry. Lifting with waxed paper, carefully invert pastry into pan. Remove waxed paper; press pastry onto bottom and up sides of pan.
