Cranberry Orange Cream Pie is a perfect dessert to serve at holiday dinners. Not only is it beautiful, it incorporates the most popular fruit flavors of the season – cranberries and oranges.

This easy pie uses a homemade cream pie filling that is cooked in the microwave. It’s amazing how easy this delicious filling is, especially since it takes only about 15 minutes to put together. By cooking the filling in the microwave, the possibility of scorching is eliminated, as well as a need to stand over a hot stove stirring until the mixture finally boils.

This new and different pie will be a welcome change; it will certainly become a favorite.
