Oldbury Gooseberry Pies

Gooseberries make one of the best summer pies, with plenty of sharp-sweet juices to soften and enrich the crust. These pies from Oldbury in Gloucestershire are made with hot-water pastry. It's a sturdy pastry and the lard content helps create a barrier that seals the juices in.

Be sure to use the pastry straight away, if you leave it to cool completely, it will start to set and become crumbly.

The recipe is taken from Paul Hollywood's British Baking.
