America the majestic: Pictorial cookbook
By John Tarpstra
Gaslight Pub - 1981
I found I needed an extra Tbsp of butter for the shell, perhaps because I was using Granitas to substitute for the Graham Crackers.
Absolutely delicious. Make sure you cut small slices so you can offer seconds!

Celebrazione! : 75 Years of Eating and Drinking with the De Bortoli Family
By Michael Harden
Hardie Grant Books - 2003
Sparrows on sticks? Please. The little mice with wings are nesting in my gutters but I'm still not going to a) catch them, b) pluck them, c) clean them, and then d) cook them on sticks. It's "one bird, one bite" and it's too much work!

Cooking for Every Occasion

Readers Digest - 1988
I use Rose's Lime Marmalade and substitute pecans for walnuts (I never use walnuts, I find them bitter). If I feel luxurious, I soak the chopped figs in Muscat.

Substitute honey for the treacle for a different taste. Don't turn the oven on to pre-heat until step three where you chill the dough for 30 minutes!

Rosie's All-Butter Fresh Cream Sugar-Packed Baking Book
By Judy Rosenberg, Barbara Maslen
Workman Publishing Co Inc - 1991
As described - tart. Mouth puckeringly tart but set off by the sweetness of the base they are very delish!

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd - 1999
I've also tried the alternative suggestion of papaya instead of the mango, but the mango was better for me.

Wonderful Ways to Prepare Curries
By Shirley, Jo Ann
Ayers & James Pty Ltd - 1978
Much better than the usual mango chutney (and I love mangoes). You could cut down on the garlic if you wished and substitute semi-dried figs for the raisins.

Wonderful Ways to Prepare Pressure Cooker Dishes
By Jo Ann Shirley
Playmore Inc. - 1983
Waaay to much brown sugar. I'll try 1/4 cup next time instead of the 1/2 cup in this recipe.
I will also allow it to cook for perhaps another 10-15 minutes to get that melting effect.
