spacer notes

This pie did not last long and was followed by demands for more! It is terribly easy to make and not to mention quick to make up. For this particular pie, I used gooseberry jam mixed with a little quince jelly (didn't have enough jam). I just added a quick dash of lemon and grated almost a quarter of a nutmeg which I didn't notice but may have added in adding a little warmth to the pie so would not omit. A quick oven basically means "high heat" so I set the oven to about 400F.
