I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out as good as the other reviewers said. The crust was too hard and the filling was too runny.

This pie was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't have a sweet tooth. If you like sweet pies, then you'll probably love this one.

The crust on this pie was a bit too thick for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I would definitely make this pie again, but I would use a different crust recipe.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a huge fan of red currants. If you like tart pies, then you'll probably love this one.
