Time 1h

Yield 1 9 inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (9 inch) pie crusts, baked
2 (12 ounce) packages fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup cranberry-apple juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon lime rind, finely grated

Steps:

  • Combine cranberries, one cup of sugar, cran-apple juice and salt in a large saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes over medium heat; stirring occasionally, until cranberries "pop".
  • Pour the cranberries through a mesh strainer and discard skins/solids.
  • Return the drained mix to the saucepan and add the cornstarch and water.
  • Stir well over medium-high heat and then add ginger.
  • Bring this mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat after 2 minutes and add the butter and vanilla, mixing well.
  • Pour this mixture into your pre-baked pie crust.
  • Prepare your merinuge by beating the egg whites and cream of tartar at high speed with an electric mixer until they become foamy. Add the 1/3 cup of sugar a teaspoonful at a time until stiff peaks form and sugar is dissolved (about 4 minutes).
  • Add the lime rind and beat slowly until just blended.
  • Cover the cranberry mixture with the meringue and sealing to the edge of the pie crust.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for 25 minutes or until meringue is a light golden brown.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
