Ingredients
- 1 deep-dish pie crust (frozen)
- .25 oz pkg unflavored gelatin
- 4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup sugar (plus 1 tablespoon, divided)
- 1/2 cup orange marmalade
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- 1
Bake the crust according to the directions on the package. Set aside to cool completely.
- 2
Combine the fruit, one cup of the sugar, the orange marmalade, and the orange zest in a medium-size saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens a little and a few cranberries pop. This should take approximately eight to nine minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Sprinkle the package of gelatin evenly over 1/3 cup of cold water. Let this mixture sit for one minute and add the contents to the cranberry mixture. Stir to combine.
- 4
Let the fruit mixture cool for two hours.

After two hours, pour the fruit mixture into the pie crust and spread out evenly. (The mixture will still be thin.)

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours for the filling to thicken up and set.

To make the whipped cream, combine the heavy cream and one tablespoon of sugar in a cold medium-size bowl and use an electric mixer to whip until stiff peaks form. This should take about two to three minutes.

Before serving, top the pie with a generous amount of whipped cream and add any seasonal decorations you like.
