Sour
Cream Cranberry Pie
Crust
1 refrigerated pie crust (from 15-oz. pkg.)
Filling
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (8-oz.) containers nonfat sour cream (1 3/4 cups)
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 1/2 cups sweetened dried cranberries (about 8 oz.)
Meringue
3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare and bake pie crust
as directed on package for one-crust baked shell using
9-inch pie pan. Cool 30 minutes or until completely
cooled. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees F. During
last 10 minutes of cooling time, in medium saucepan,
combine 1 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt; mix well. Stir
in all remaining filling ingredients. Bring to a boil,
stirring constantly. Cook over medium heat for 1 to 2
minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat; cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in large bowl,
beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy.
Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form.
Beat in vanilla. Pour hot filling into cooled baked
shell. Spoon meringue onto hot filling. Spread meringue
over filling, sealing to edge of crust to prevent
shrinking or weeping. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 8 to 10
minutes or until light golden brown. Cool on wire rack
for at least 45 minutes or until slightly cooled. Serve
immediately, or refrigerate until serving time. Store in
refrigerator. Servings: 8
