Cranberry Curd Heart Hand Pies

January 22, 2014 · 4 Comments

Cranberry Curd Hand Pies

With so much delicious curd and some pate brisee still begging to be used, I couldn’t help but spend a snowy afternoon making hand pies, shaped in lovely hearts of course. These little pies are extremely versatile, they’re portable, satisfy all guests at potlucks or easy-going cocktail parties, or cold days when you just want to indulge in a single serving, warm flaky pastry. Sweet decadence that dreams are simply made of, well at least mine.

IMG_0176Personal pies are still one of my favorite things to make because you can fill them with just about any flavor you seem to be craving, including one of these combinations. When winter days have us lazily cuddled underneath cozy blankets, these quick and simple hand pies warm our little hearts, in more ways than just sweetness. They taste even better when shared with your loved one over a hot cup of cocoa during a quiet snowfall. Cranberry Curd Hand Pies

Cranberry Hand Pies

Ingredients

Pate Brisee

Cranberry Curd

Fresh Cranberries

1 – Egg

Granulated Sugar 

Recipe

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough onto a lightly floured surface to 1/4″ thickness. Cut using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place in freezer until firm, but not frozen {about 10 to 15 minutes}. Slide parchment, with cut shapes onto a flat surface, using rolling pin flatten dough shapes slightly, then transfer bottoms, on parchment, back to baking sheet, making sure to evenly space pieces of dough. 

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of curd in the center of bottoms, leaving 1/4″ edge, then place a small mound of fresh cranberries atop {about 4 to 5 berries}. Whisk together egg, and brush edge of pie bottoms. Carefully place top dough piece atop filling, press ends and crimp edges with a fork to seal. With your leftover dough scraps, use a small heart-shaped cutter {about 1″} to cut out shapes. Brush back of small heart with egg wash, and place in center of hand pies. Brush entire hand pie with egg wash, and generously sprinkle with sugar. Bake until golden brown {about 20 minutes}. Allow to cool completely.

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
