Using your fingers, crimp the edges of the pie. Trim off the extra dough, then roll up the edge to make a rim around the dish. Place 3 strips horizontally across the pears, then pull alternating strips back and lay the additional strips perpendicular. Repeat this process until you have 6 braided strips. Take 3 strips of the dough and braid into 1 strand. Using a knife, cut eighteen ½-inch strips of dough. Roll out the other disk of pie dough into a 10-inch square.Spoon the filling into the tin over the dough, spreading to make an even layer. Transfer to a 9-inch pie tin pressing to fit the tin, leaving at least 1 inch of overhang on the sides. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of the pie dough into a 12-inch circle.Then add the liquid back to the bowl with the pears and toss to incorporate. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the pears of any excess liquid and transfer the liquid to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature. In a large bowl, toss the pears with ½ cup of the granulated sugar, the crystallized ginger, cornstarch, orange juice, salt, cinnamon and ground ginger.If you try this recipe, let me know!

I haven’t tried it, but I have a feeling you could make this into a cranberry apple pie by swapping the pears for apples and the pear reduction for apple cider reduction. If you’re already thinking about the holidays (I know I’m not the only one…?) and want a dessert recipe that will really WOW, this cranberry pear pie is for you! Make this pie first thing in the morning if you plan on serving it for dessert – it needs at least 6 hours to set! The filling is juicy but not soupy.If you don’t own one, you can make one using tin foil. If you’re concerned about over-browning, you can place a pie crust shield over the pie after 30 minutes of baking.I recommend chopping your pears into bite-sized chunks instead of slices.
