Fresh Raspberry Pie

Fresh raspberries are arguably the best part of summer.
Here's a great pie recipe that also works with blackberries, black raspberries, or other similar fruits.

Step 1: Assemble ingredients

You'll need:

~5-6 cups berries
1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
1/4-1/2c sugar
2T cornstarch
1 c water
pinch salt
1T lemon juice
dash allspice (optional)

normally they say you shouldn't wash raspberries because they just get mushy. if you're worried, though, you can put them in luke-warm water for a while and then let them air-dry. :)

PIE!! We should have a pie contest, the cake one was so awesome!

[canida]

So, was the pie contest everything you hoped it would be?
(How can you go wrong with pie?)

[mikeasaurus]

mmm pie! Yeah the pie contest was pretty awesome! Now all we need is a pie eating contest!

Thanks for your comment on my guacamole Instructable! The only thing I love more then raspberry pie is peach melba pie! Raspberries and peaches together! UNSTOPABLE.

[canida]

Mmmm, peach melba sounds fabulous about now. Too bad all I've got are nectarines...

[Forkable]

nectarines work great too! plus, you can get away without skinning them

Oh my gosh, that looks absolutely delicious. It is too bad that all of the deer have been eating our raspberries.

[canida]

That's no good! Surely they can't get to all of them? Maybe you should just plant more...

[Brennn10]

There are a few on top that have been spared because the deer cannot reach them. We are making a new plot, so hopefully next year our harvest will be more plentiful.

[LinuxH4x0r]

I moved to New Mexico. My raspberries are 1400 miles away in Minnesota.
