Tropical Peach Pie
Line a shallow piedish with short pastry, and fill with slices of pawpaw in imitation of sliced peaches. Squeeze lemon or lime juice fairly liberally over the fruit, sprinkle with sugar to taste and with grated nutmeg, and arrange strips of pastry in lattice-work over the top.
Bake in fairly hot oven, and serve with coconut cream or fresh cream (if ob tainable). (Note: If any readers don’t like the flavour of pawpaw, we assure them that pie doesn,t taste like pawpaw at all.) Mrs. F.H.E.K., Ex-Apia.
