    Recipe



    In a small bowl combine cranberries and bourbon; cover and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours.

    Prepare and roll out Buttery Piecrust. Line a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with the dough. Trim pastry to ½ inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry; crimp edge as desired.

    For filling, in a large bowl combine eggs, corn syrup, brown sugar, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix well; stir in pecans and undrained cranberries. Pour filling into the pastry shell.

    Bake in a 325° oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cover; refrigerate within 2 hours.

    Serve with Cranberry and Honey Sauce and sweetened whipped cream. Makes 8 servings.

    Buttery Pie Crust
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tbsp. granulated sugar
    1 tsp. salt
    12 tbsp. chilled unsalted butter cut into ½-inch pieces
    4–6 tbsp. ice water

    In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt. With a fork or pastry blender cut in butter. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the ice water over part of the flour mixture; gently toss with fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all the flour mixture is moistened (use 4 to 6 tablespoons total). Form dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface roll to a circle about 14 inches in diameter.

    Cranberry and Honey Sauce
    ¾ cup fresh cranberries
    3 tbsp. granulated sugar
    2 tbsp. honey
    1 tbsp. lemon juice

    In a medium saucepan combine cranberries, 1 cup water, and sugar. Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil gently, uncovered, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add honey and lemon juice. Return to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer 3 minutes more. Cool slightly. Remove ¼ cup of the cranberries with a slotted spoon; set aside. Transfer remaining mixture to a blender; cover and blend until almost smooth. Strain to remove skins. Stir reserved berries into strained mixture. Cover; chill 2 hours or until completely chilled. Makes 1 cup.
