Method

Preheat oven to 190°C. Prepare a round pie dish.
Base Pastry : Beat together the butter and Chelsea White Sugar until pale and creamy. Next add the flour and the egg yolks until it forms a dough. Turn out onto the bench and bring together with your hands.
Divide the dough in half and press one half onto the removable bottom of the tin. Roll it a little so that it's even and then cut off the excess. Place this into the tin.
Halve the remaining dough once more and roll in to 2 tubes. Place these around the bottom of the tin and press the dough up into the crevices of the tin. Trim the excess. Chill.
Lattice Pastry : Combine the flour, salt and Chelsea White Sugar. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles bread crumbs. Next add the egg and water if necessary. Turn it out onto the bench and bring together with your hands. Set aside to rest.
Pear & Peach Filling : Combine the fruits, basil, cornflour, flour, vanilla extract, cloves and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar.
Pour the filling into the base pastry and set aside. Roll the other pastry out and cut uneven strips then lattice it together. With the remaining pastry cut leaf shapes and use them to decorate the edge of the pie. Egg wash and dip some leaves in Chelsea Caster Sugar.
Bake the pie for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to cool before removing from the tin.
Decorate with fresh basil and Chelsea Icing Sugar.
