Method:

Roll half of pastry into round dish and then pour in mixture. Cover with remaining pastry and then brush with egg white and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake until brown.





Add juice of lemon to steamed and boiled gramma. Mix in sultanas and some sugar and stir until sugar is melted through. Bake in short crust pastry until brown.

Pardon my ignorance but what is "gramma"?

First time I have heard of this in my 64 years.

Gramma is an old fashioned Veggie, like a marrow. Jap or butternut pumpkin that is a bit watery is the modern way. This one doesnt have tart. acid, but I have made it heaps of times.

1 cup brown sugar.

1+1/2 cups boiled gramma.

125g sultanas or raisins.

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ginger.

juice lemon



mix all together while gramma hot. & then cool.

line pieplate with short pastry, fill with cooled mix. Cover with more pastry, seal edges.

Glaze top * sprinkle with more sugar & cinnamon.

Bake in moderate oven until pastry brown & pie cooked.

ENJOY !!
