Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups (1000 grams) fresh or frozen cranberries
- 2–1/2 cups (500 grams) granulated sugar
- Zest from one large orange (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1–1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3 tablespoons (35 grams) cornstarch
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 buttery, flaky pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to allow it to fully heat while you prepare the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh or frozen cranberries with the granulated sugar, orange zest, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and cornstarch. Pour in the orange juice and gently stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, ensuring the cornstarch is well mixed to avoid lumps.
- Roll out your pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the cranberry filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- If desired, cover the pie with a second crust or arrange a lattice crust on top. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the assembled pie on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes. The filling should be bubbling and the crust golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly before slicing and serving.
