Spiced Rhubarb Pie
Ingredients
- 2 lb pink rhubarb trimmed
- 2 oz preserved stem ginger chopped
- ginger chopped
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 8 oz shortcrust pastry with 1/2 level tsp ground ginger added
- milk to glaze
Instructions
- Thickly slice the rhubarb and add the ginger. Combine the sugar and cornflour, and toss with the fruit. Place in a 900 ml (1 1/2-pint) pie dish.
- Roll out the pastry 5 cm (2 inches) wider than the dish. Cut a 2.5-cm (1-inch) strip from the outer edge and use to line the dampened rim of the pie dish.
- Dampen the pastry rim with water and cover with the pastry lid, sealing the edges well. Trim and finish. Brush with milk to glaze.
- Bake in the oven at 220°C (425°F) mark 7 for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) mark 4 and bake for a further 20 - 30 minutes until the crust is pale golden and the rhubarb tender.
