Makes a really nice raspberry pie. I've never tried anything but fresh berries with it. It's very simple. Make your own crust or the crust rolled up and ready to go! I usually make mine and let it sit most of the day, or make it in the evening and let it sit all night for the juices to soak up and the pie to set. Hope you like it!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Fresh raspberry pie is perfect for summer. Tart and sweet, this easy-to-make pie tastes a lot like a cobbler with its bubbling fresh raspberry flavor and flaky crust. Serve with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream for a fantastic summer dessert.

Ingredients For fresh raspberry pie

  • 4 c
    fresh raspberries (4 heaping cups)
  • 1 Tbsp
    lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp
    lemon zest
  • 1 c
    sugar
  • 3 Tbsp

How To Make fresh raspberry pie

  • Sugar, corn starch, and zest in a bowl.
    1
    Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine sugar, corn starch, and lemon zest in a small bowl. Stir to mix.
  • Lemon juice and berries in a bowl.
    2
    Add lemon juice to the berries.
  • Combining berries and sugar mixture.
    3
    Pour sugar mixture over berries and GENTLY stir.
  • Berries in a pie crust with dots of butter.
    4
    Pour berries into an unbaked pie shell. Dot with a tablespoon of butter.
  • Second crust on top and cutting slits.
    5
    Place crust on top and make slits to let steam vent.
  • Brushing crust with milk.
    6
    Brush the top with a little milk or cream.
  • Sprinkling crust with sugar.
    7
    Sprinkle with sugar.
  • Crust protector around the edges.
    8
    I place a ring around mine to keep the edges from burning. Or you can use foil to cover the edges. With either one, I would spray the side touching the crust with Pam to keep it from sticking to the crust because of the milk you brush on. I have forgotten to do this a couple of times and it always sticks if I don't.
