Summer Fresh Raspberry Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until raspberries soften, about 5 minutes. Strain raspberries into a bowl through a fine mesh sieve; discard seeds. Return mashed berries to the saucepan.
• Stir cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water in a bowl until dissolved and stir into mashed berries; add sugar.
• Heat raspberry mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Allow raspberry sauce to cool to room temperature.
• Line the prepared pie crust with remaining 3 cups raspberries. Pour raspberry sauce over berries and chill until set. Serve garnished with whipped cream and lemon zest.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Crust:.
• Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl.
• Cut in shortening with either a fork or pastry blender.
• Sprinkle in cold water 1 teaspoon at a time until flour is moist enough to form a dough.
• On a lightly floured surface, role the ball of dough out into an 8 inch circle.
• Repeat above steps to make second crust.
• Place first crust into pie plate and set second crust aside
• Filling:.
• Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
• Pour mixture into a 8 inch pie plate lined with one crust.
• Lay other crust on top, trim edges and minutes.
• Bake at 425 for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• FILLING:.
• Rinse your raspberries lightly and set aside to dry. Some people don't rinse them for optimum flavor so if you don't suspect dirt or bugs, skip the rinsing. In a large bowl mix tapioca and sweetener. Add raspberries and gently but thoroughly toss them until they're evenly coated. Let sit while you prepare the crust.
• CRUST:.
• Mix flour and salt in a medium bowl using a fork. Add oil and mix thoroughly. Add apple juice (use less for a crunchier crust or more for a softer one) and mix well. It will seem very wet but will dry out right away. Form a ball and roll out half the dough between 2 sheets of wax paper. Line a pie plate with the rolled out dough. Prick the bottom and sides a few times to get out any air bubbles. I usually put it in the oven for 5 minutes or so before filling it to prevent sogginess. Roll out the other half of the dough and set aside.
• Fill crust with raspberry filling and top with the top crust. Seal edges and prick the top a few times with a fork to let steam escape. Bake for 50 minutes. Let cool before slicing to allow the filling to set.
