Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 (9-inch) pie crust

Filling

  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1½ cups water
  • 3 ounces raspberry jello (gelatin dessert mix)
  • 4 cups fresh raspberries

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch thoroughly to prevent lumps.
  3. Add Liquids and Jello: Gradually stir in the water and raspberry jello mix into the sugar and cornstarch mixture until fully dissolved.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Fill the Pie Crust: Pour the raspberry filling evenly into the prepared pie crust.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
