-- Preparation Method
- Line the pie dish with pastry (I have found it easier to go out and buy frozen pastry, but if you want to make it, mix it all in a bowl and give it a mix.
- To make the filling:
- Mix the sugar, honey and fruit juices together.
- Add the beaten eggs and the grated fruit rinds.
- Add the Cinnamon.
- Now fold in the mashed pumpkin.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pastry case and bake in a pre-set 375f (mark 5) oven for 45-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in filling comes out clean.
- Allow to cool.
- To Finish up:
- Whip the cream,sweeten it with the caster sugar and add some nutmeg.
-
- Just before serving, cover the pie with the cream and sprinkle with chopped nuts( you can hleave this bit out if you want)
