Food for Every Soul

 

Heyyy Helpers! Welcome back to another edition of Food for Every Soul by Mayathefirst! In this series I interview people from the Help Force about their favorite and famous recipes. For this post, I decided to interview the active, sweet and savage Supreme Helper – DavidTheHFSavage!

I started off by asking David some questions about the recipe he decided to share with us today.


Hello David, welcome to this recipe interview! Can you tell us what savage recipe you will be talking about today? 
David: I will be talking about Cranberry pie!
Cranberry Pie
Can you tell us why this recipe is important to you? Is it a family recipe, and is there any history or story behind it?
David: There is no story behind it but it is important bc half my fam likes cranberry and my family has been doing cranberry pie for over 76 years lol

Here comes the best part, the Recipe! (As explained in detail by David)

Cranberry Pie

Ingredients

» 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

» ¼ teaspoon salt

» 3 tablespoons cold shortening, cut into pieces

» 5 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces

» 5 tablespoon ice water for the filling

» 6 cups (600 g) fresh cranberries

» 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar

» ⅓ cup (80 ml) fresh orange juice

» ¼ cup (32 g) cornstarch

» 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

» ½ teaspoon ground ginger

» ¼ teaspoon salt

» 1 tablespoon orange zest

» 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Make the crust

  1. Add the flour, sugar, salt, shortening, and butter to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough begins to hold together. You may not need all of the ice water.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disc. Wrap the disc with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Press it into a 9-inch pie pan without stretching it. Trim the edge so there’s a 1-inch overhang. Fold the excess dough under so it sits upon the rim of the pan and flute as desired. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

Make the filling

  1. Add the cranberries to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
  2. Combine the chopped cranberries and sugar in a large bowl. Let sit for 1 hour.
  3. Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and heat to 450°F.
  4. Add the orange juice, cornstarch, flour, ginger, salt, orange zest, and vanilla to the cranberries. Stir until well combined.
  5. Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes.
  6. Pour the filling into the cold crust and place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes then reduce the temperature to 350° and bake for 20 minutes, until the filling is bubbling. Cover the edges with a pie shield or aluminum foil if they become too brown during baking.
  8. Transfer to a wire rack and cool at least 4 hours before slicing.

Do you have any tips or tricks on making it or why people may like this recipe, or any memories from it? 
David: Read and make it carefully because it would make a great desert for Christmas or Thanksgiving lol
Thank you David for doing this interview for us!
David: Np!

With that, we’ve reached the end of the post. I know you wanted to read more XD but I will be back next time with more fresh and delicious content. If anyone would like to share a recipe with us, DM me with your ideas.

Bon Appetit! <3

  1. Curry is the best. Nothing beats curry.

  2. I choked on my chicken biryani seeing the ping in the CPAHQ server from Xing in the invasions scheduling channel, with his war declaration on our army. It took me a few minutes for myself to recover from such a shocking moment and my heart raced at incredible speeds. I almost said out loud, “TERI MAA KI CHUTNEY BOSE DK”. I never expected the #1 army on the top ten leaderboard to declare on a S/M army like us. How are Bose DK going to win? We will have to get all the curry we can, blast some Bollywood bops as loud as possible and fight this war by feeding templars curry so spicy they cry for their mothers.

  3. Wow, 76 years nice. Now I’m hungry for some pie
