Method

1. Peel, clean and slice the marrow and boil in a little water until soft. 
2. Drain well and leave to cool before mashing it with a fork.
3. Line an oven-proof plate with pastry and cover with the prepared marrow.  (Do not be too generous as the marrow mixture is watery and tends to ‘run’ when cooking.) 
4. Add a thick layer of sugar and dot with a few currants. 
5. Cover with a second layer of pastry, press edges of pastry layers together and seal. 
6. Bake in a hot oven.
