It is Raspberry Pie seaon. This summers raspberry pie features a glaze made with part of the fresh raspberries. Last year I featured my raspberry custard pie using a bit of raspberry jam glaze. It is a bit redundant and yet I like the option of different glazes and perhaps you do too. You should also take a look at Judy's Raspberry Glaze which features raspberry jello. I have also made that one many times with raspberries, strawberries and peaches. . . Like I said, we want to provide you with options.
- one baked pie shell
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 egg yolks
- 4 cups raspberries
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- Combine the 1/3 sugar and the first 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a small saucepan.
- Stir in the milk and the egg yolks and bring to a boil over medium heat. . stirring continually.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes and then pour into the baked pie shell and allow to cool in the refrigerator.
- Take 1 cup of the raspberries and combine them with the water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil and allow to simmer 4 minutes.
- Strain the berries and discard the berries. . .but save the juice.
- Combine the 1 cup sugar and the 3 tablespoons cornstarch in a small bowl and then add to the juice with a whisk If you do not combine the sugar and cornstarch first. .you will have lumps.
- Stir over medium heat until the glaze clears and comes to a simmer.
- Arrange one layer of berries over the custard and drizzle half the glaze over . . .and repeat.
- Refrigerate for several hours to set and decorate with sweetened whipped cream
What? No one wants to be first today? That pie looks delicious! I will come back to this glaze recipe. We love fresh berry pies!
