Here is my fav berry pie recipe...great with blueberries, strawberries and, probably best, RASPBERRIES!<br /><br />FRESH BERRY PIE<br /><br />4 cups fresh berries in a baked pie crust<br />Glaze:<br />1 C berries<br />1 C water<br />1 C sugar<br />Boil together (I do it in the microwave)<br />Add 3 T corn starch to a little of the berry mix. Then cook again to thicken.<br />Pour over fresh berries.<br />Cool and serve with REAL whipping cream. Yummy!<br /><br />Love your blog, especially your love of the good ole USA. I'm an American living in Canada.gailsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156453785951942354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-43369037166051246712011-03-08T12:55:24.630-05:002011-03-08T12:55:24.630-05:00Raspberries = my favorite!

We tried growing raspberries here, but, for some reason, they just never did well.<br />We did inherit a large blueberry patch when we bought this house. It provides plenty for us, my husband's mother and siblings and some friends. I wish that I liked fresh blueberries. I've tried! I do like them baked in something tasty though. Like a muffin!

We love to eat them for breakfast with cream or on cereal.

So far they have done fine. <br /><br />If I remember correctly we tried a long time ago to grow raspberries in our main garden area but they all died out-I've heard they don't like wet feet. Anyway that area currently has several varieties of caneberries and they all do fine there! <br /><br />Your photo reminds me that before too long I will again be eating from our fruit bushes again instead of just dreaming about doing that:)<br /><br />Blessings to you Joni!<br />Aimeeaimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255823818961459112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-34929645223736368952011-03-07T13:44:22.022-05:002011-03-07T13:44:22.022-05:00Hey Joni;

We were a little fruity in our dreams, weren't we? If you have enough raspberry shoots I'd love some to plant. I've always thought I'd order them from a catalog, I never thought of getting them from someone else when they are thinning theirs. What a good idea!mary your sisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-22055291604058263302011-03-07T10:24:14.370-05:002011-03-07T10:24:14.370-05:00Our property is on an extreme slope that makes the...Our property is on an extreme slope that makes the growing of raspberries impossible. I do, however, buy flats of them in season and freeze for year round use. I also make freezer jam that I use a great deal in my baking. I hope you'll stop by my place. I hope you have a great day.

They are my favorite berry. I just ordered a varity pack to plant this spring. I have always bought my berries from the Amish but now is the time to grow my own. I also purchased blueberry and blackberry plants as well. Ant information you have on growing those would be helpful. I love your blog!Artful Gatheringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05715172939547168889noreply@blogger.com
