Ingredients
Pie Dough, recipe below
Orange Cranberry Jam, recipe below

Instructions
1. Prepare the pie dough according to the instructions. Roll the pie dough into two disks, about 12” in diameter. Form one of the pie dough disks into a tart shell and chill. Keep the other in the fridge.

2. Prepare the orange cranberry jam according to the instructions. Fill the tart shell with the orange cranberry jam.

3. Cut the second pie dough disk into 8 strips. Arrange four strips in one direction, and alternating every other strip, lift the strips to place another strip perpendicular. Repeat to create a lattice top. Crimp the edges and trim any excess dough.

4. Preheat an oven to 375F. Place the tart in the center of the oven and bake for 20-30 minuets or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.


Classic Pie Dough

Ingredients
6 ounces bread flour
2 ounces cake flour
1 teaspoon salt
7 ounces (14 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cold
1⁄4 cup water

Instructions
Hand Method
1. Mix flours and salt in a large bowl. Chop butter into 1⁄2-inch chunks and add to flour mixture. Pinch or cut butter into flour using your fingers or a pastry cutter, breaking it into pieces about the size of large peas. If using your hands, work quickly to keep butter from melting.
2. Pour water into flour mixture. Mix dough with your hands or about 10 to 15 turns of a wooden spoon, until it just starts to come together. The dough will be very tough and should remain in a few large chunks.
3. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and push chunks together. Knead 4 to 5 times, just until it holds together. Flatten dough into a disk about 1 inch thick. Wrap tightly in parchment paper and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Food Processor Method
1. Pulse flours and salt in the bowl of a food processor 2 or 3 times to combine. Chop butter into 1⁄2-inch cubes and add to flour mixture. Pulse for 1 second about 8 times, until butter is in pieces about the size of large peas. Add water and pulse 3 to 4 times, until dough begins to come together. It may remain in a few large chunks.
2. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and push chunks together. Knead 4 to 5 times, until it holds its shape. Flatten dough into a disk about 1 inch thick. Wrap tightly in parchment paper and let rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.


Orange Cranberry Jam

Ingredients
2 pounds fresh cranberries
2 pounds sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest

Instructions
1. Process 11⁄2 pounds of the cranberries in a food processor or blender until smooth.
2. Add the cranberry puree, whole cranberries, sugar, and orange zest to a heavy-bottomed pot.
3. Heat the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a slow boil, and boil for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and coats a spoon.
4. Remove the jam to sterilized jars and process if making jam, or to a large bowl if using immediately.
