Large Batch Sweet Lemon Pastry [add 2 tsp (10 mL) finely grated lemon rind to flour in Large Batch Sweet Pastry recipe]
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
1 tsp (5 mL) coarse granulated sugar
Filling:
1 cup (250 mL) dried cranberries
2 tbsp (25 mL) brandy or orange juice
2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice
2 pears
1 jar (700 mL) prepared mincemeat
1 tsp (5 mL) grated lemon rind

1
Filling: In bowl, combine cranberries, brandy and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave at high for 1 minute. Let cool.
2
On lightly floured surface, roll out two-thirds of the pastry to scant 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. Fit into deep 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Roll out remaining pastry; using 5-inch (12 cm) Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 4 trees. Using star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 4 stars, rerolling any scraps if necessary.
3
Peel, core and finely dice pears. In bowl, combine cranberry mixture, pears, mincemeat and lemon rind; spoon into pie shell.
4
Whisk egg yolk with milk to make egg wash. Arrange large pastry trees around filling with tops touching in centre. Place stars between each. Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with coarse sugar.
5
Bake in bottom third of 425u00b0F (220u00b0C) oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350u00b0F (180u00b0C); bake until filling is bubbly and pastry is golden, 45 to 60 minutes. Let cool on rack. (Make-ahead: Let stand at room temperature for up to 24 hours. Reheat in 350u00b0F/180u00b0C oven for 15 minutes.)
