Currant Pie

Prepare the currants by removing the stalks, leaves and any unsound fruit; place them in a dish with sufficient caster-sugar to sweeten, and pour over a little boiling water. Put the dish in the oven to simmer for a few minutes, then take it out and cool. When the fruit is cold, pour it into a pie-dish, cover over with light puff paste, and bake in a moderate oven until done.
