Rons Tybee Island Sausage Pie Recipes

SASKATOON (SERVICEBERRY) RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press two of the pie crusts into the bottom and up the sides of two 8 inch pie plates.
• In a microwave-safe dish, combine the rhubarb and 1/2 cup of sugar. Heat at full power in the microwave until rhubarb is soft and juice is pooling in the bottom of the dish, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain off the juice into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 2 cups. Dissolve the cornstarch in the liquid.
• In a saucepan, stir together the 2 cups of liquid, lemon juice and remaining 1 cup of sugar. Add the saskatoon berries and rhubarb; cook over medium-high heat until thick and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Pour into the two pie crusts. Top with the remaining crusts and cut holes in the top to vent steam. Pinch the edges together to seal.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 30 more minutes.

CHEESY SAUSAGE & BEAN PIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Combine the beans, sausages, passata, oregano and spring onions with some seasoning and the sugar.
• Unroll the pastry and cut into four rectangles. Spoon the bean and sausage mixture onto one side of each rectangle, leaving a 1cm border - so you can fold the pastry like a book. Sprinkle the cheddar over the bean and sausage mixture.
• Brush some egg around the edges, then fold the pastry over to enclose the filling. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork, then put on a baking sheet lined with baking parchment. Brush with more egg, and cut a small hole in the top of each pie for steam to escape. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hrs. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Bake on the middle shelf for 40 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then serve with salad.
