  • This started out as a blackcurrant pie but I added so many redcurrants that it became a "Mixed Berry Pie".
    So simple to make - give it a go.
    INGREDIENTS
    Currants - enough to fill your pie dish
    Sugar, granulated or caster - half the weight of the currants
    Ready rolled shortcrust pastry - 2 packs (or one each shortcrust and puff if you want a puff pastry lid)
    Eggwash
    METHOD
    Strip and clean the currants
    Grease the pie dish
    Line the pie dish with one sheet of shortcrust pastry and trim
    Add the currants
    Add the sugar - remember, half the weight of the currants
    Cover the dish with the second sheet of pastry
    Trim the lid and crimp the edge onto the base
    Pierce three holes in the lid to allow the steam to escape
    Brush the lid with the eggwash (I used whole egg and milk)
    Bake at 180-200°C for 20-25 minutes or until the lid is golden and the juices are oozing out of the vent slits
    Enjoy hot or cold with custard, ice cream or whatever takes your fancy!

    Great looking pie Steve made my mouth water, a drop of custard wouldnt go amiss.

    Steve, as you may know, currants were outlawed in many US states in the mistaken belief that the state plants were a vector for pine rust. That makes it difficult to obtain the fresh fruit. That good side is that your recipe works for wild blueberries and other fruits. Thanks for the show and a nudge to make me look for wild berries here. Take care friend!

      Somebody commented that they are not banned any longer (unless it is a state bt state thing). Maybe a chance to grow some?

    Looks delicious and I bet it tastes amazing. I remember my nana baking and she could flip round the trays and trim the over pastry. She was a real pleasure to hang out with as a child and had a wicked sense of humour 😂😂 must be where I get it from. Have a fab day get some ice cream for the top 👍, Ali 🌞🇨🇦

      I recall that every time we went to Orlando, ice cream was always the preferred topping for the (numerous) pies with my kids LOL

    Delicious, I used some blackcurrents on a cheesecake at the weekend it was beautiful.
    I tend to make a lot of jams but was a nice change.

    Looks lovely but I don’t like soggy bottoms!!!!! My blackcurrants were rubbish again so they are getting the chop - got some new bushes cultivating so hopefully might get better crop next year or year after 😊

    • @DigwellGreenfingers
      @DigwellGreenfingers  Před 13 dny +1

      I'd normally blind bake but this recipe was all about speed and simplicity. Actually, the juices soaked into the base a lot so it wasn't the classic soggy bottom, if you get my drift.

    try using a fork to remove the currants from the strigs....................brian

    • @DigwellGreenfingers
      @DigwellGreenfingers  Před 19 dny

      Good idea! I only had a few strigs this time as they were the ones I picked with care for the show. With the other currants in the bowl, I used my fingers as a comb up on the plot. Lovely coloured hands LOL
