Hi Scrumptious. I have made this a few times now, including last night as I realised we had all the ingredients. Such a great recipe. Thank you.
really pleased you liked it xx
PS My husband says it is really good cold too - he took the last slice to work for lunch!
This is indeed a gorgeous pie! I made it last night and it was really tasty. I made a small one for the 2 of us, using 1/3 of the ingredients, and I had to sprinkle on sesame seeds as I had run out of pine kernels,but it worked well. Will try the pine kernels next time. Thank you for this great recipe.
