Cherry Daisy Pie

This is not really a recipe. This is leftover pastry needing a home, but as it looked so sweet, I thought I'd share it with you.. Having made my Chicken and Wild Garlic Pie - I had a bit of leftover pastry. Now I am not one to waste, so I opened the fridge door - as I always do - for inspiration. There sitting in a small pot was some leftover cherries from some cherry cookies I had made the other day.

I popped the cherries in a pan with 2 tbsp. of caster sugar and a dash of orange liqueur and cooked down a little until mushy. I rolled out a circle of pastry and popped it on a small plate. Topped with the cherries and brought up the sides of the pastry to hold them in, and decorated with pastry daisies. Little egg wash and put in the oven at the same time as the pie (180 C for 20 mins).

Cute as a button and delicious with hot, sweet custard.
