    Mulled wine cranberry curd meringue pie

    baking, recipe

    Mulled wine cranberry curd topped with toasted meringue.

    The flavours make a christmassy meringue pie perfect to serve for the holidays. Even with out the trees it is a delicious seasonal treat.

    I love cranberries and dreamed up this pie.

    Jump to Recipe

    I added a little red wine, water, orange and spices in a pan and simmered with the cranberries. Then i made a puree with it to make the curd.

    The pastry has some ground cinnamon and ginger in to give it flavour.

    Cranberries have a wonderful sharp flavour that pairs so well with the spices and sweetness of the meringue.

    The colour is such a wonderful vibrant pink.

    The curd its self would be perfect in any holiday bake, i am going to make some more for a cake.

    The red wine, spices and orange gives such a seasonal flavour to the curd.

    It is a really easy thing to make and serve to your quests.

    I used the pastry off cuts to make the trees and the little deer.

    To make the deer i went on google and found a deer silhouette. Then i traced it onto some paper and cut it out and used it as a template.

    Then i cut some little pieces of dough and stuck them to the back with some icing so they could stand up on their own.

    The meringue is then toasted with a blow torch before being decorated with the trees.

    Those are optional, i have a step by step tutorial on how to cut them here.
