LEMON-CRANBERRY MERINGUE PIE
Sweet and soft as air, meringue is what gives this show-stopper of a pie its fluffy, bouffant appearance. Looks aside, the meringue serves an important purpose in balancing the easy lemon curd filling. To take this pie to legendary status, we added a thin layer of cranberry gelée for extra pucker-up power and quickly kissed the peaks of the meringue with a kitchen torch.

Steps:
- Crust: Preheat oven to 400°F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to an approximately 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9-by-2-inch fluted tart pan, or a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Trim dough to be flush with edges of pan.
- Line with parchment and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set and dry, about 25 minutes. Remove beans and parchment; continue baking until crust is golden on bottom, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
- Lemon Filling: Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk in egg yolks, lemon zest, and 1 1/3 cups water until smooth. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking frequently; boil 1 minute.
- Remove from heat; whisk in lemon juice and butter until smooth. Pour mixture into crust. Refrigerate until filling is cool and set, about 30 minutes.
- Cranberry Gelée: Combine cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and 3/4 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; boil 1 minute. Press through a fine-mesh sieve (discarding solids), then pour over chilled and set lemon pudding in crust, gently spreading to edges with an offset spatula. Refrigerate until cold and set, at least 30 minutes or, loosely covered, up to 1 day. If using tart pan, remove pie from pan and transfer to a serving plate or cake stand.
- Meringue: In the bowl of a mixer set over (but not in) a bowl of simmering water, beat egg whites and sugar until sugar has dissolved and mixture is hot. Transfer to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on low speed until foamy. Add cream of tartar and vanilla, increase speed to medium-high and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 8 minutes.
- Spoon meringue onto center of pie, spreading slightly and leaving a 1-inch border between meringue and crust. Wave a kitchen torch over meringue until browned in places. Cut pie into wedges; serve. (Pie is best eaten the same day.)

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch nonstick springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In an electric mixer on high speed, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Add the granulated sugar slowly, then the vanilla, baking powder and salt while beating, about 2 more minutes. Fold in the ginger snaps and walnuts.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Let the cake cool for 15 minutes, then remove the springform.
- For the frosting: In an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form and the mixture is smooth. Make sure the mixture has no lumps.
- To assemble: Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting all over the cake. Garnish with the Sparkling Cranberries and serve.
- Cook the agave nectar and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium-low heat, 1 to 2 minutes. (Make sure not to let the syrup get too hot because the cranberries will pop.) Remove from the heat; stir in the cranberries. Cover and chill for 3 to 5 hours.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the granulated sugar in a large bowl or baking dish. Drain the cranberries in a colander. Add 5 cranberries at a time to the sugar, gently tossing to coat. Place the cranberries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and let dry completely.
CRANBERRY CURD PIE WITH MERINGUE TOPPING
This is cranberry curd pie made easy with the addition of one surprisingly convenient ingredient - canned cranberry sauce. The curd has the ideal balance of tart and sweet, and once it's topped with a pillowy mound of meringue, the pie is a real show stopper. For extra flair, use a kitchen torch to brulee the meringue before serving. What's more, the pie can be made a day before serving, for a perfect make-ahead dessert when entertaining.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven according to the pie-dough package instructions for "Baked Shell." Unroll the pie dough, fit it into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp or decorate the edges as desired. Prick the bottom and sides of the dough with a fork and bake as directed. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Separate 4 of the eggs, reserving the egg whites for the meringue. Add the egg yolks, remaining 2 whole eggs, orange zest and juice, salt, 1/3 cup of the sugar and the jellied cranberry sauce to a medium pot. Add the butter, set the pot over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously, until the butter is melted and the curd has thickened and reached a temperature of 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture into a large bowl, then pour into the cooled pie crust. Bake until the curd is just starting to set but still jiggly in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Let the pie cool to room temperature, about 1 hour, then refrigerate until the curd is chilled and completely set, at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, make the meringue. Beat the reserved 4 egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the cream of tartar and then gradually add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, a spoonful at a time. Whisk on medium-high speed until the meringue is glossy and holds a stiff peak when the whisk is lifted, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Dollop the meringue over the pie in an even layer. Use a kitchen torch if desired to brulee the top.

CRANBERRY-LEMON MERINGUE PIE
My daughter Eliana came up with the idea for this pie one morning when she woke up early to bake. She combined the way she and I make fresh black raspberry cobbler in the summer with other recipes for cranberry sauce and lemon meringue pie. The color is absolutely beautiful, and the flavors are smooth and delicious. One of her best friends says it's the best pie she's ever had. -Sonia Buhrer-Bowen, Carroll, OH

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease then line a 23 x 32cm shallow baking tray. Using electric hand beaters, whisk the egg whites, lemon juice and a pinch of salt until stiff but not dry.
- Add 1 tbsp of the caster sugar, then whisk until the mixture thickens again to make stiff peaks. Repeat with the rest of the sugar, spoon by spoon, until the mix resembles thick shiny shaving foam. Spread the mixture into the tin, scatter with almonds, then bake for 15 mins or until risen, firm and golden. Cool completely. (It will deflate.)
- Simmer the cranberries in the pomegranate juice for 10 mins until tender. Add the sugar and cinnamon, and simmer for 5 mins or until syrupy. Taste and add more sugar if you need to. Stir in the arrowroot until the juices thicken, then leave to cool.
- To assemble, sift plenty of icing sugar over a large piece of parchment, then carefully flip the meringue onto it. Remove the tin and the baking parchment. With a short end facing you, score a line 2cm into meringue. Whip all the cream ingredients until thick but not stiff, then spread over the meringue. Spoon over about 1/3 of the cranberry sauce. Roll up the roulade, starting with the scored short end and using the paper underneath to help. Carefully lift onto a serving plate and serve with the remaining saucy cranberries.
