Cranberry Orange Custard Pie

Cranberries are usually thought to be a sauce for the turkey or as a cranberry bread or muffins. This pie is a great taste surprise, sweet yet tart. The recipe called for a 10-inch pie shell. I used a 9.4-inch pie pan from Pioneer Woman. I like the depth of the pie with using a smaller pie pan. Love the red dots around the edge with the red from the cranberries. The trick with this pie is to place the pie pan on a cookie sheet for minimal movement and to let the pie cool completely before cutting to let the custard set up. This is definitely a pie that will take you back for seconds and will be sure to become a family favorite.  Stock up on cranberries during this holiday season and freeze them to make this pie when you are feeling the holiday spirit throughout the year.
