We are having a BUMPER crop of raspberries. Here is a raspberry pie favorite. It’s based upon a recipe found in Sunset Magazine’s June 1990 issue called French Raspberry Pie.

Go pick some raspberries.

You’ll need 4-1/2 cups to start. Rinse and then dry on absorbent towel.

Mix together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup tapioca, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. salt.

Stir in 1 cup sour cream and let sit for 15 minutes.

Distribute raspberries into an unbaked 9″ pie crust.

Pour sour cream mixture evenly over the raspberries. Set pie on sheet to catch drips. Bake at 400 degrees F for 45-50 minutes.

Pie is finished when filling is bubbly and surface is browned. Once cooled, garnish with 1-1/2 cups fresh raspberries.
