5th Annual Authors in Bloom Blog Hop
Thursday April 7th – Saturday 16th 2016
10 Days of Giveaways-Gardening Tips-Recipes-and More!
Plus a GRAND PRIZE you’ll be digging to win!
The 5th Annual AUTHORS in BLOOM is finally here! I’m so excited to welcome you to FUN HAPPENS! As you realize, not all authors are particularly great gardeners or cooks, but we do our best to leave you a little something… My recipe is simple and delicious. It’s a raspberry pie that when heated and served with a scoop of ice cream, makes for a yummy ending to a lovely dinner.
FRESH RASPBERRY PIE (from Thrifty’s Fresh Summer Magazine)
Prep Time 20 minutes (You like it already, right?)
YUMMY!
Cooking Time: 50-55 minutes
Makes: 1 pie (8 servings)
- 6 cups fresh raspberries (from you garden if you’re a gardener…ha!)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice (makes the raspberries taste tart, not sweet)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 Tbsp. cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 Tenderflake, deep-dish, double -crust pie shell
- 1 tsp.granulated sugar
Set the oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 425 degrees F. Place the raspberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice in a bowl and toss to combine (Don’t worry if you crush some of the berries). Let stand for 15 minutes. Brush the bottom pie shell all over with some of the beaten egg to provide a seal between the filling and the crust. (I NEVER knew to do this before…) Spoon and spread the berries into the pie shell and top with the butter pieces. Brush the edges of the pie with beaten egg. Set on the top crust and crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top of the pie with remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tsp. granulated sugar. Cut a small hole in the center of the pie to allow steam to escape. Bake the pie for 10 minutes. reduce the heat to 250 degrees F and bake until golden brown, about 35- 40 minutes more.
This is a picture of my gardening skills from one of my archived blogs entitled, GONE BOY! (May 18, 2015) (Now you know why I’m leaving you a recipe, instead of a gardening tip!)
WHY, OH WHY ? Where’s the GREEN?!
