Australian Gramma Pie Recipe
- 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
- 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.
- Chill till ready to make the pie.
- 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).
- Bake in a moderately warm oven for about one hour.
- Serve hot with thick cream or possibly with homemade vanilla custard or possibly with vanilla ice cream.
