This dessert isn’t technically a pie. It’s a cross between a berry pie and a cobbler. It has pie filling, but there is no bottom crust. I put a simple filling – in this case, cranberry and cherry – into a deep dish and top with buttery, flaky puff pastry!

Ingredients

Because my recipe is so simple, you’ll only need basic pantry staples plus frozen cherries, frozen cranberries, an orange, and store-bought puff pastry.

It’s made with frozen cranberries and, because it’s an upside-down cake, it comes out beautifully every time without having to mess with frosting it.

People tend to think that making jam is a huge ordeal. You’ll be shocked to see just how simple it is.

Homemade Jam Making Myths – Debunked

1. You need fresh fruit to make jam. Just about everyone I know who makes jam has a garden. They make jam to squirrel away the summer’s bounty in jars for enjoyment all year long. I made this cranberry jam because I like jam. I used frozen cranberries and intend to consume it all right away.
2. Jam making is an all-day event. I made this cranberry jam in ten minutes. That’s just ten minutes, people!
3. You need special equipment and sterilized jars to make jam. Sure, if you plan to eat your jam next year, you’d better be careful about how you prepare and package it. I don’t want to hear about anyone dying from botulism because they stuck this jam in their basement in an unsterilized glass jar for two years. But, if you plan to eat your jam within two weeks, you can store it in your refrigerator with no sterilization needed.

What Are the Key Ingredients in Cranberry Jam

Cranberries

This recipe works with fresh or frozen cranberries. There is no need to defrost the frozen cranberries first. You can use them straight from the freezer.

Fill them with any pie filling, relish, or jam that you want using the tips and instructions in this post along with your favorite filling to personalize the recipe.

I make this dessert using two round circles of pie dough crimped together or one circle folded on itself.

I made these single-serving mini Danishes with a cranberry cheese filling. I got a bit carried away with the filling quantity; like a kid with a bowl full of Halloween candy and a tummy already aching, I couldn’t help myself. I kept over-stuffing because I wanted to eat all of that filling!
