Raspberry Puree!


What you need:
1 pint of raspberries
1/4 cup sugar
What to do:
  1. Put both the raspberries and sugar in a pot, and stir them together.  
  2. Heat the mixture.  When it begins to bubble, stir, and then mash the raspberries with a spoon.  
  3. If you want to remove the seeds, then you will need to run the puree through a fine mesh sieve.  
This is a very easy raspberry puree that goes great with beignets, pancakes, and other desserts!  Give it a try!

Berry Cobbler!

What you need:
2 cups fresh strawberries, halved
2 cups raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
pastry for 1 double pie crust


What to do:

  1. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch.  Add the strawberries and raspberries, and gently toss until the berries are coated.
  2. Line the pie plate with half of the pastry.  Stir the berry mixture, and then transfer it to the pie plate.  Top with the second crust, and seal and crimp the edges.  Cover the edge of the pie with foil.
  3. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes.  Remove the foil, and bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.  Allow the pie to cool.
This pie is SO easy to make, and really good!  Also, you can substitute the raspberries and strawberries for blueberries or blackberries.  Give it a try! :)
