Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Gather your ingredients and tools.

  6. Whisk together the cranberry puree, sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, and orange zest until thick and creamy.
  7. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until nearly set.
