Step 3
Transfer to a deep 9-inch pie dish. Using a measuring cup, press cookie crust firmly onto bottom and up sides of dish.

350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
Step 5
Remove the pie dish from the grill and let cool. If the crust slides down on the sides of the pie dish, gently press it back up.
Step 6
Make the cranberry lemon filling. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 12 oz cranberries, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and most of the liquid evaporates, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool.

Step 7
Purée in a blender until very smooth.
Step 8
In a heat proof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (the bowl should not touch the water), cook the cranberry purée, eggs, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir with a rubber spatula and scrape down the sides of the bowl often, until curd thickens and coats the spatula, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let cool until just warm.
3 Large eggs
2 Large egg yolks
2 Teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
1/2 Cup Fresh lemon juice
Pinch kosher salt
1/2 Cup granulated sugar
Step 9
Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the curd, adding butter a piece at a time and incorporating after each addition, until curd looks lighter in color and texture, about 5 minutes.
3/4 Cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter room temperature, cut into pieces
Step 10
Pour the cranberry lemon curd mixture into the crust. Place in the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
Step 11
In a small bowl, toss the remaining cranberries with sugar. Top pie with sugared cranberries and serve with whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
