Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, mix 1-3/4 cups crushed crackers and 1/4 cup sugar; stir in melted butter. Press onto bottom and up sides of an ungreased 11-in. fluted tart pan with removable bottom.
Bake 7-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
For topping, in a small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and remaining crushed crackers and sugar; cut in cold butter until crumbly. Refrigerate while preparing filling.
Finely grate enough peel from orange to measure 1 tablespoon.
Cut a thin slice from the top and bottom of the orange; stand orange upright on a cutting board.
Cut off peel and outer membrane, starting from the top. Holding orange over a bowl to catch juices, remove orange sections by cutting along the membrane. Squeeze membrane to reserve additional juice.
In a large saucepan, mix sugar, tapioca, baking soda, cinnamon and allspice.
Add cranberries, brandy, grated peel and reserved juice; toss to coat.
Let stand 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
Bring cranberry mixture to a full boil, stirring constantly.
Add orange sections; heat through.
Pour into crust; sprinkle with topping.
Bake 10-15 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Port, Moscato Dasti
Tart works really well with Cream Sherry, Port, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry
Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "
