YES!!! My grandmother used to make 'fly cemeteries'! We loved them. My husband looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my head when I told him about "fly cemeteries". He loves them now too! Thank you for your wonderful videos.
A little tip: Grate you frozen butter with a vegetable grater or food processor and it will cut you time in half rubbing the butter into the flour. :) In the States we have a pie similar to this called Shoo Fly Pie
My Son has lived in Scotland for the last two years and before lockdown I would fly up to visit and bring back some Scottish goodies and this is a firm favourite with us Devonshire Pixies. Many Thanks 😋
G'day from Australia. I'm so glad that I found your channel by pure accident! With this recipe, I now totally understand why my Dad loved eating fruit filled biscuits with a cup of tea! I think he was trying to replicate this slice. My Grandparents were Scottish and my Dad made quite a few of these recipes throughout my childhood, but never really said that they were recipes from his mother. We just grew up with them. They are bringing back alot of comforting memories for me, as I'm now 54yrs old, and Dad has been gone for 6 yrs now. I can't wait to make this recipe, as I do like baking. I have minimal memories of my Scottish Grandmother, sorry to say, as she passed away when I was around 11yrs old....and my Grandfather was gone before I was born. I even feel comforted by your accent....Thanks for the memories and recipes. New subscriber. Cheers from Melbourne. P.S. Thanks for the diversion from this Melbourne Covid lockdown hell we are currently in here...!
Brings back memories of Dunedin in the early 1950s! Our mother would, as a special treat, put a slice of fly cemetery in our school lunches. Other kids, jealous, would try to put us off by describing the flies contained therein and what they had been eating! It didn't work! Thanks Cheryl.
With that short crust and My Imagination, the mind boggles. fruits and nuts and chocolate and cheeses and veg...oh man, ONion Tart would be So Good with this crust. Thanks for having us over for tea, it's always wonderful. !!
I grew up here in SE WISCONSIN, USA having this as Aunt Edie's Currant Cake". She must have learned recipe from my grandmother who brought her family from Scotland before my Dad was born. I love listening to you Cheryl. Many fond memories of Annie
I’ve never had shoo fly pie, so can’t compare, but I’d try this in a heartbeat. Looks utterly yummy, and so easy! Simple to carry on a picnic or to a friend’s as a contribution.
We always called it , dead fly cemetery. My grandpa would eat it then. He would have nothing to do with mincemeat as he said mince shouldn't be sweet... as in minced beef. Great memory. Thank you.
In London when the tea lady at work bought those sort of cakes round we called them Dead Fly Cakes. We all loved them and Vi the tea lady. A memory from the 1970s.
@@wendymuir7818 i suppose it’s all staff kitchen areas now or machines. I started work in a large office in 1965 and although I would be hard put to remember my workmates I can still see Vi coming through those doors in her white uniform, little hat all covered up by her coat and pixie hood in bad weather. In the mornings it was rolls and if we were lucky and the canteen had cooked a beef roast the day before bread and dripping she even used to bring a salt pot with her for that. It was one mad stampede when she came in. Oh my Wendy, cup of tea, cheese roll and a ciggee, newspaper spread over the keyboard crossword kept for the afternoon what uncomplicated bliss.
My mum would make this many times when I was growing up in UK. Also my nana. It is so delicious. Yummy. Thank you for sharing it. Brings happy memories back. ❤️
Our kitchen was like a bakehouse on Saturday mornings, my Scottish Mum baked for the week ahead and this was always my favourite. Thank you for posting it, a fabulous recipe and the best of memories for me x
WOW! Fly Cemetery 🤣 my mum used to make this often for our tea 🤤 been a long while since last having any. Got bought the currents to make some just not gotten round to it😜 thanks for the memory jog 😂🤣🏴🇿🇦
You got a beautiful profile heather 🥰 there isn’t a Word In the dictionary that can explain your type of beauty. i hope your day is as beautiful as you?
Maureen Harris. My mouth is watering! The older I get the more nostalgic I become for what were certainly the GOOD OLD TIMES. More power to your baking elbow!
Thank you very much for your video on how to make fly cemetery. My Gramma used to make this for me for my birthday every year...I love it that much. Unfortunately, the recipe died with her. I have been hunting for it since 1981. I have replicated the filling but the crust has always eluded me. Your Empire biscuits are also a favorite. My mom was from Glasgow and my dad was from Douglas. Thank you, again. Anne Russell.
Okay, I just found this channel and I LOVE it. I always loved scotland and now, I can attempt to cook scottish things while listening to an actual scot (with a marvellous accent I might add) explaining it to me. That's wonderful! (Sorry for spelling mistakes, I'm being exited, tired and not a native speaker/writer at the same time. And I always suck at spelling)
@@masuganut2082 Its best just the way Cheryl makes it. Its been made that way in Scotland for a long time for a reason. Its gorgeous! and no other filling can touch it.
Mum used to make it she called it dry fly pie but with shortcrust pastry when mum made a pie if the was pastry left over she made dry fly pie she called it that cos the currants looked like dry flys with the wings pulled off ..love Fran xxx
You got a beautiful profile Francis 🥰 there isn’t a Word In the dictionary that can explain your type of beauty. i hope your day is as beautiful as you?
Growing up, I knew this as raisin shortbread. It was like your recipe but had candied citron, too, in the filling, and the dried fruit was rehydrated in some alcohol.
You got a beautiful profile Maybelline 🥰 there isn’t a Word In the dictionary that can explain your type of beauty. i hope your day is as beautiful as you?
Also known to me as sly cake but the flies graveyard was its original name for me. I enjoyed watching you make yours very much and had me drooling 🤤 Cheers John.
This is also known to me as sly cake. I was born in the Newcastle area ,did my mum change the name to sly cake to make sure I ate it cos fly cemetery and fly graveyard would put me off?
Thank you looks beautiful I love fruit slice, my Granny use to bake a Loch Katrine cake, everyone loves it...... I love watching your channel my Dad was born in Scotland immigrated with his family to Tasmania Australia. Take care 💜🐨🇦🇺🦘
That reminds me of the fruit slices local bakeries used to do. I haven't had your version, but I can imagine it's just as good - if not better - because you used very good ingredients. I can almost taste it. Wonderful stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Cheryl. This brought back memories of childhood. My Mam used to make this with her leftover pastry after her weekly baking session. I loved them and had forgotten all about them. I’m making these on Sunday. Thanks for the inspiration.
Being a Scottish Kiwi, when first went in to a bakery in Australia, they had no ideas when I asked for fly cemetery. I showed it to them, oh fruit slice, but laughed and were going to call that ongoing. Lol 😆.
I had a wee Auntie in Doune that used to bake for a couple coffee shops in the area and the last time I was there she taught me how to make it . . . along with Millionaire Shortbread. I haven't been over in about 20 years so I think it's about time to pull the finger out and go! . . . for the Fly Cemetery! 🤣 Happy Hogmanay for 2022-23!
You got a beautiful profile wildheart 🥰 there isn’t a Word In the dictionary that can explain your type of beauty. i hope your day is as beautiful as you?
Thank you for these recipes & videos! Have loved watching them! Wondering if you have a custard recipe to go with it? Looked but no luck in finding one. But see a lot of comments about eating it with custard? Can’t wait to make these, thank you! Stay well! From New England, USA
I always remember these teatime treats as 'squashed flies', as in the biscuits of that name. My best childhood and lifelong friend's mother made delicious ones, while my mother excelled at savoury dishes, Mrs. C was a brilliant baker. Coming from the West Country, my mother made something slightly similar in terms of ingredients, Cornish cakes, which were simply rounds of rich short crust pastry with added sugar and dried fruit cut out and baked. The texture was somewhere between a cake and a biscuit. W'sfT recipes are really reliable and summon up memories of traditional dishes; no wonder Scotland used to be known as the Land of Cakes!
I remember Eccles cake when I lived in Canada. I thought of them when I saw this recipe. Thanks for the correct spelling of it, that's why I never could find a recipe. LOL.
Delicious. I can remember our local baker making this when I was a little girl back in the 70s here in Somerset. Unfortunately the bakery has long gone so I shall definitely be giving this a try. Love your recipes Cheryl. Thank you so much.
My granny used to soak her fruit in warm water. Then add sugar and spices. I have not made fly cemetery for years! Need to do it soon.! Thanks for reminding m about it. Xx
Wow, this is amazing, I thought this was something just our village school came up with. We called it, "Fly Pie". Mmmm... Fly Pie and custard was a favourite of mine.
Thanks again for the Fly's Graveyard recipe, Cheryl. I'll still be doing our traditional Hallowe'en (Clootie) Dumpling, but I'm going to give these a go too, as a present for a friend. They look 😋😋😋😋
You make beautiful pastry Cheryl. I’ve not made these treats for years and you’ve inspired me. I have just made a couple of your Forfar Bridies which are in the oven atm. Can’t wait till they’re ready 😊

I've made this with my Scottish grandmother's recipe. She called it Currant Cake and simmered the filling first (which also included apple). Yours looks delicious!
Reminds me of the mincemeat(Nonesuch, a sweet mince, no meat) squares my gram made. My gram was from Liverpool & my mom from Glasgow & they came to the states when my mom was 12. Gram was the best baker & we always had fresh baked goodies when we came home from school for tea.
easy to make, the wait time comes in when you have to let things cool. so worth it ! i now used store bought pastry, pillsbury's seems to be the best one and flaky.
Hi Cheryl. I really enjoyed seeing this recipe. I first heard of this in the book called “ Shoes were for Sunday “ by Molly Weir. She wrote so lovingly about Scotland, especially Glasgow where she grew up. Have you ever read any of her books ? Anyway I have eaten fruit slice a couple times but it is not very common in Canada, at least not where I live. I will definitely have to make it now.
Fly’s 🦟 😂😂.. that is funny Cheryl. My mother makes a Sho-fly pie. It’s a pie that is sort of like a cake and delicious... I think they called it that because back in the day the ladies would put them out to cool and the flys would be after them .... enjoy the season and have a fun Halloween 🎃
I absolutely love your accent. These recipes are great. Ill be making some of your recipes for the holidays. I hope they are a big hit over here in the states.
Have you ever thought about writing a book with all your recipes. Would be a top seller. I will be one of the first to buy. X

lol as a Brit living in the US, I wondered what that pie was, thanks
@TheRenaissanceman65 These puns are grate-ing.

I'm in Tyneside and this reminds me of something sold in bakeries here in the 60s... it was called Sly Cake, although it was made from pastry.
My father worked in a bakery in Consett during the war and sometimes brought home a bit of sly cake..
@@elizabethsykes4243 I have't had a slice of sly cake for a good few years... Wonder if it's still made.
Me too I remember it well
I remember sly cake in the 70’s in Newcastle it was lush
Maureen Harris. I don’t know about the bakeries in England but I am going to be making some in my home in France 😋
I've made this with my Scottish grandmother's recipe. She called it Currant Cake and simmered the filling first (which also included apple). Yours looks delicious!
I love anything with apple, so that sounds like a great addition to this recipe. So trying that.....
Looks absolutely delicious Cheryl xx
Reminds me of the mincemeat(Nonesuch, a sweet mince, no meat) squares my gram made. My gram was from Liverpool & my mom from Glasgow & they came to the states when my mom was 12. Gram was the best baker & we always had fresh baked goodies when we came home from school for tea.
Really enjoyed this recipe very yummy 😋
Now I know where my grannys flie pie came from. Definitely it was always my favourite.
I remember these from my childhood 🌸
Loving all your recipes
Yummy. Must. Try. Looks nice.
Saw this by accident. Haven't had "fly pie" in years. Think we'll have to try this 😉😍😋
Omg!!! I forgot how much I loved these.... I live in Crete now and you have made me want, so much want one of these again. Xxx
A big THANK Y’ALL from Texas for a great recipe!
My Aunt made this for me in the 70's. here in Ontario Canada. Oh how I loved it. Hard to find here.
I love all of your videos. They always make me happy. Thank you. ❤️
This looks wonderful! I love raisin anything, but hate wet sloppy pie. Thanks for the recipe!
Cheryl, that looks lovely, hubby would like that with custard. Have you ever made Eye Mouth Tart. X
Thanks so much! Can't wait to try this!
LOL, Fly Cemetery or Fly Graveyard 🤣🤣
That's gold.
What a name 😂 Looks yummy!
easy to make, the wait time comes in when you have to let things cool. so worth it ! i now used store bought pastry, pillsbury's seems to be the best one and flaky.

Mmmm yummy with custard x

Looks like this could be where our Canadian "Butter Tarts" came from...... Going to have to try it!
