That looks really good!

What is golden syrup and custard powder?

[bobbymcr]

Golden syrup is a thick, amber-colored form of inverted sugar syrup, made in the process of refining sugar cane juice into sugar, or by treatment of a sugar solution with acid. It is used in a variety of baking recipes and desserts. It has an appearance and taste similar to honey, and is often used as a substitute for people who cannot eat honey and those who choose not to (such as vegans). It can also be used as a substitute for corn syrup.

custard powder is a British thing used to make pudding/custard--if you're in the States, I've found it in the international aisle of a supermarket, but if you can't find it, its mostly just cornstarch so that should work as a substitute.

That's ok.. If you met me, you'd probably still love the pie.

What makes it look purplely? Is it the nuts?

Vanilla essence is dark(brown...?), golden syrup is dark...(GOLD), and the crushed nuts sort of filter a lighter beige texture through it, and somehow, voila!
