Ingredients
- 12 ounces (340g) fresh cranberries
- ½ cup (120mL) fresh orange juice
- Zest of one orange
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup (57g) unsalted butter (softened to room temperature and cut into 4 slices)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 and ½ cups (150g) crushed gingersnap cookies (about 25 cookies)
- ⅓ cup (67g) firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 5 Tablespoons (71g) unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine crushed gingersnap cookies, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ground ginger. Mix in melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom and sides of a tart pan and bake for 10 minutes until golden. Let cool.
- For the cranberry curd, combine fresh cranberries, orange juice, zest, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until cranberries burst (about 5-7 minutes). Blend until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs, yolks, softened butter, and salt. Gradually add the cranberry mixture while whisking.
- Pour the curd mixture into the cooled crust and bake for 20-25 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before serving.
