How to Make Cranberry Meringue Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine cranberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Once cooled, pour the cranberry filling into the prepared pie crust.
  5. In a large bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Carefully spread the meringue over the cranberry filling, sealing the edges to the crust to prevent shrinkage.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned and firm to the touch.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
