About

This is the perfect pie if you like lots of lovely fruit and juices. It doesn’t have a pastry base, so to serve it you simply cut the pastry top and spoon it out along with the fruit. Fresh or frozen berries both work well in this pie. Be sure to experiment with other berries, such as blackberries and raspberries – anything but strawberries will be delicious.
