Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

CRUST
6 Tbsp butter, cold
1 1/2 tsp buttermilk
2 Tbsp hot water
1 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
FILLING
1 c corn syrup
2/3 c sugar
1/4 c butter, room temperature
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 c cranberries, whole fresh or frozen (unthawed)
1 c pecans, chopped coarsely

Steps:

  • 1. FOR THE CRUST: Place all ingredients in the large work bowl of a food processor. Process just until it begins to form a ball. Remove from work bowl and press into a 4" disc. Wrap in saran wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm.Remove from fridge. Allow to warm at room temp a few minutes, just until rollable. Roll out to fit a 9" pie plate. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • 2. FOR THE FILLING: Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the cranberries and pecans.Stir until well blended. Gently stir in cranberries and pecans.
  • 3. Pour into prepared pie shell. Bake at 425 for 10 mins. Reduce heat to 325, bake an additional 35-40 mins. I bake this until the center seems 'set'.It will still 'jiggle' a little when touched, but should not be 'mushy'. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.I also like to sprinkle the top with just a touch of sugar as soon as it comes out of the oven. This gives it a little holiday sparkle. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Can be served chilled or at room temperature.
  • 4. Serve with a dollop of vanilla or rum-flavored whip cream. Or a good-quality vanilla ice cream.
