My Dad called me up and said the wild black raspberries that randomly grew where the pine trees had been cut down were ready for picking. I hauled up the children and went over to find a massive amount of berries on the bushes. The kids and I went to work, each of us with a bowl but mine ended up being the only one with berries in it because they were just too delicious looking to resist eating right away. So we came home with 2 cups of berries, some super stained shirts, and cute berry stained faces. I love watching the boys pick fresh things on Grandpa's "farm". I've been craving some cream pie so I looked through a recipe book at home for a really simple one. I found one for a peach cream pie and so I used that but substituted the peaches for the fresh picked black raspberries. The first time I made this it was a little runny so I altered the recipe the second time adding more flour. And here is the final recipe:
3/4 cup white sugar
4 T flour
pinch salt
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups black raspberries
cinnamon
Mix sugar, flour, and salt. Add cream. Stir. Let set a few minutes and stir again. This gives the sugar a chance to dissolve. Add black raspberries and pour into pie crust. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set.
As I write this I am currently enjoying a piece of this delicious pie. I am just sad his bushes are done producing. Anything yummy you make with fresh black raspberries?
