recipe
for 2-crust pie
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400~. In a medium saucepan, simmer cho-cho in the
water with the cloves until tender. Remove cho-chos from the pan and
reserve. Discard the spices. Add the sugar and lime juice to the
remaining water in the pan. Simmer until thick and syrupy, then allow
to cool. Line a pie pan with half the pastry and arrange the cooked
cho-cho pieces in it. Sprinkle with lime zest and pour the cooled syrup
on top. Cover with remaining pastry and seal or crimp the edges. Cut 2
slits in the top to let the steam escape. Bake until brown, about 5
minutes. Cool before serving.
