It’s a sweetly tart pie–with Triple Sec, baking with Mom

A lady friend gave us a lot of frozen raspberries so what are we to do? Bake pies, of course!

Here is the generalized recipe we used but we “cheated” by using Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust instead of the crust in the recipe (click here if you want the see the recipe)

My mom and I didn’t exactly follow the filling recipe to the “T”, either. We added a splash of orange Triple Sec. We also added some lemon and orange zest to the recipe. Additionally, we included extra cinnamon.

The results were spectacular! I forgot to snap a picture of the final products because I was more interested in sampling the pie.

Bon Appetite!

Blueberry and Strawberry Pie: Homemade

When is pie not t a good idea? Super easy to make and great for dessert at home, for a holiday, or to share (although if sharing, using a toss-away aluminum pan would be recommended unless you know for sure the person will return your pie pan!)

Ingredients:

1 bag frozen strawberries (From Dollar Tree)

1 bag frozen blueberries (From Dollar Tree)

1 TBS Real Butter

1/4 Tsp (each) salt, clove, cinnamon, orange (or lemon) peel

1 TBS corn starch

1 box Jiffy Pie Crust mix (make accordingly to package directions for 2 pie crusts.)

2 TBS Sugar (real sugar, not substitute)

Line a 9 inch pie pan with a crust, making sure the dough overlaps the lip of the pie pan.

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together, stir until all is mixed thoroughly. Fill the pastry lined pie pan with the entire contents of the bowl.

Top the filling with the second pastry dough, pinching the edges together over the lip of the pie plate. Mark little slots in the top crust. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 350 F.

It’s delicious served hot, cold, warm and/ or with ice-cream.
