Pie Crust
Filling
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1½ cups water
- 3 ounces raspberry jello (gelatin dessert mix)
- 4 cups fresh raspberries
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Roll out the 9-inch pie crust and place it into your pie dish, pressing it evenly along the bottom and sides. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch thoroughly to prevent lumps.
- Add Liquids and Jello: Gradually stir in the water and raspberry jello mix into the sugar and cornstarch mixture until fully dissolved.
- Cook the Filling: Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes clear and glossy, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add Fresh Raspberries: Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring they are evenly coated with the thickened jelly mixture without crushing them.
- Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the raspberry filling evenly into the prepared pie crust.
- Chill to Set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set and firm.
- Serve: Once chilled, slice and serve the pie cold. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or fresh raspberries for an extra touch.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Chilling the pie adequately is crucial to allow the filling to set properly.
- You can substitute raspberry jello with unflavored gelatin and raspberries sweetened with sugar for a less sweet alternative.
- If using a store-bought crust, pre-bake slightly if desired for a crisper base.
- Keep the pie refrigerated until serving to maintain the filling consistency.
