This section is from the book "The Table: How To Buy Food, How to Cook It, and How to Serve It", by Alessandro Filippini. Also available from Amazon: The Table: How To Buy Food, How To Cook It And How To Serve It.
Procure a medium-sized, fine, sound, pineapple; pare, peel, and slice it into fine slices, laying them in a vessel, and mixing in three ounces of powdered sugar. Have a pie-plate lined with paste, as for mince pie (No. 1082), spread over one tablespoonful of apple sauce (No. 1328); arrange the pineapple nicely on top, then take three ounces of pie-paste, roll it out lengthwise, two feet long, and fold it carefully in two, so as to make a long narrow strip; roll it slightly again until about thirty inches long by one wide, paring off both sides evenly, so as to have it exactly the one inch in width. Moisten the edge of the pie-plate with beaten egg, and arrange the strip around, fastening the two ends together, one over the other; glaze the surface of the strip with beaten egg, then place the pie in a moderate oven, and let bake for fifty minutes. Remove to the door, dredge the pie well with powdered sugar, return to the oven for two minutes to allow the sugar to melt, then spread evenly over the top two ounces of apple jelly (No. 1327), and send to the table.
