This month’s Sweet Adventure is hosted by The Capers of the Kitchen Crusader. Browsing through this month’s Australian Gourmet Traveller Magazine (June 2012) I came across a recipe for Shaker Lemon Pie by Alistair Wise. I really liked his method for making the pie filling so decided to give it a go. I have adapted his recipe to create this Citrus Pie Recipe. I have lemons from our tree at the moment and added mandarin for some sweetness. I enjoy cooking with mandarin and have been adding them to most of my cakes lately. They give my carrot cake a burst of sunshine and sweetness.
These pies have a jaffa flavour with the intensity of lemon kicking in the background. I really enjoyed them. They are not too sweet. They are a perfect winter evening pick-me-up. If you are visiting the home of A Fresh Legacy in the coming months, expect to be served these hot winter citrus pies.
Get baking and keep warm!
Makes: 6 individual pies (tin size 11cm)
Preparation time: 20 minutes plus time to freeze the citrus and let it stand with the sugar overnight
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Note: Due to the resting time, this recipe should be started the day prior to cooking it
I am looking forward to reading some of the other Sweet as Pie entries.
What is your favorite pie combination to warm you through on a chilly winter evening?
[…] dumplings instead. I originally tried out this process of softening the lemons last year for my Citrus Pie Recipe (another SABH entry). They are perfect to add to any dessert, as a topping for ice cream or an […]
Wow, what an interesting combo – the oranges and chocolate I get but have never thought to use lemon! Fabulous
This sounds and looks delicious – anything with mandarin catches my eye… I’m loving your photos too – just stunning 🙂
What an interesting combination, I’m a chocolate orange fiend, but have never thought of adding lemons to the mix. I’ll have to try it 😀
What a greta way to use the whole fruit!! I so want to devour one of these right now. Thanks for joining the hop 😀
This is a great recipe. A bit like making marmalade and then encasing it into a pie. very nice
What an amazing combination of flavours 🙂
Citrus, nuts and chocolate – ooo I like the sound of that!
Great that you used your own fruit, too.
What an interesting combo fo flavours. I’m not much for mandarins, but this might just convince me…
Love that you were able to use your own lemons… the flavour combinations sound and look delicious! 🙂
