I can see why this won a Blue Ribbon ... the sweet and tart flavors were perfectly balanced. All that's missing is a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c crushed fresh raspberries
1 c sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 pkg pie crust shell
2 tsp lemon zest, grated

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400° degrees.
  • 2. Place 1 pie shell in the bottom of a 9 inch pie plate ( I used glass )
  • 3. In a large bowl, add the crushed raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and cornstarch and set aside for about 15 minutes.
  • 4. Place this mixture in the pie shell, and top with the 2nd pie crust.
  • 5. Place the pie on a cookie sheet, and make "slits" in the top crust to prevent the pie shell from cracking.
  • 6. Bake for about an hour and 45 minutes till the top pie shell is brown, and the pie filling is bubbling from the slits in the pie crust.
  • 7. Cool for at least 2 hours so it can set up. It's easier to serve if it's completely cooled. Enjoy
