Cranberry Pecan Pie
- 1 (9-inch) pie crust
- 6 cups (about 1 1/2 pounds) fresh cranberries, rinsed, picked over and drained
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup turbinado or light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- finely grated zest of 1 large orange
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, strained before measuring
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 5 or 6 pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup pecan pieces, coarsely chopped, divided
- Combine the cranberries with the rest of the ingredients except the pecans in a large nonreactive saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often, and cook at an active simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Dont overcook, or the filling will be hard after the pie is baked.
- Let cool.
- Set a rack at the lowest level in the oven and preheat to 375F.
- Stir half of the pecans into the filling and pour it into the prepared pie crust.
- Smooth the surface and scatter the remaining pecans on top.
- Place the pan in the oven and decrease the temperature to 350F.
- Bake until the crust is baked through and the pecans are toasted, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Cool the pie on a rack and serve it at room temperature.
