Ingredients

  • 1 kg Gramma, (trimmed weight, buy more)
  • 1/3 c. Sugar Grated rind 1 orange Juice and grated rind 1 large lemon
  • 1 Tbsp. Sultanas
  • 1 tsp Golden brown syrup
  • 1 tsp Mixed spice
  • 1 c. Plain flour
  • 1 c. Self raising flour Good healthy pinch salt
  • 150 gm Butter
  • 1 sm Egg
  • 2 Tbsp. Caster sugar

Directions

  1. Peel gramma, throw away seeds then chop into pcs and cook with a little water in a covered saucepan for a good 3/4 hour. Drain in a colander till cool, pressing lightly to extract as much of the liquid as possible. Transfer gramma into a bowl, add in sugar, orange rind, then the juice and rind of the lemon. Add in sultanas, golden brown syrup and mixed spice. Taste, add in more lemon juice if preferred.
  2. Chill till ready to make the pie.
  3. Preheat oven to moderately warm (190 deg to 200 deg C). To make the pastry, sift both the flours with salt into a bowl, then rub in butter. Beat the egg with sugar and add in to the flour. Mix quickly by hand into a dough. Knead lightly with a little extra flour. Roll out 3/4 of the pastry to fit a 20 cm metal pie plate (do not make the mistake of rolling out the pastry too thinly). Fill the pastry-lined pie plate with the gramma mix. Wet the edges then roll out remaining pastry and place on top of the pie. Trim away any excess with a knife then press edges to seal with a fork. Brush with lowfat milk and sprinkle with a little extra sugar (this makes it extra crunchy).
  4. Bake in a moderately warm oven for about one hour.
  5. Serve hot with thick cream or possibly with homemade vanilla custard or possibly with vanilla ice cream.
  6. Serves 6 to 8

    Hello! lovely recipe, should make a tasty pie...if of course, you don't use teflon pans.
    When they are over heated, they release a toxic substance in the food, that may cause cancer.
