Gramma Pie. What is one?

Gramma Pie 

We got this recipe from the ABC but we bet that someone out there has a better one. A PONRABBELITE has provide this image of her GRAMMAharvest and it posed so so many questions. First one was where did you get the seeds? And she said HERE!

Then we asked what are you going to do with this 'produce'? And she said maybe make some instruments for an orchestra. After that well ........ ??? Some of us remember that a grandmother made GRAMMARpie with mixed feelings. BUT it was a long time ago and it might be fun to  try it again.

As the ABC says "you may have to ask the greengrocer to order a 'gramma' in for you". You'll probably have to explain what one is as well but there you go.

Apparently this recipe serves:6 to 8 people:

Ingredients 

• 1kg gramma 
• 1.3 cup sugar juice and grated rind of a large lemon and grated rind of 1 orange 
• 1 tablespoon sultanas 
• 1 teaspoon golden syrup 
• 1 level teaspoon mixed spice or mixture of nutmeg cinnamon and ground cloves 

Method 

Peel gramma, discard the seeds and then chop into pieces and cook with a little water in a covered saucepan for a good 3/4 hour. Drain until cold, pressing lightly to extract as much of the liquid as possible. 

Transfer gramma into a bowl, add sugar, orange rind, then juice and rind of lemon. 

Add sultanas, syrup and spice. Taste, adding more lemon if required. Refrigerate until ready to make up. 

Sift both flours with salt into a bowl, then rub in butter. presumably the ABC thinks you know about this flour stuff but we guess you'll be able to work it out somehow.

Beat the egg with sugar and add to flour. Mix quickly by hand into dough. Knead lightly with a little extra flour. Roll out 3/4 of the pastry but not too thinly to fit a 20cm metal pie plate. 

Fill with Gramma. Wet edges and cover with remaining pastry, already rolled to fit as a lid. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Brush the top of the pie with milk or water and sprinkle with a little extra sugar. Bake in moderate oven for approx 1 hour. 

Serve slightly warm or cold with softly whipped cream.
