Blog-able Feast Friday: Raspberry Lemon Pie!

Welcome to Blog-able Feast Friday! A moment of applause, please, for Hollycakes — hasn’t she done a fabulous job of organizing a baker’s dozen of bloggers and keeping us all on task? I’m honored and thrilled that today is my day to participate. I join Morgan in the group of non-designers — well, unless you count software design, which pales by comparison to fabric design. Oh, to be able to fondle fabric (instead of a keyboard) professionally! And Morgan thinks she’s intimidated? Gosh, I have to follow that gorgeous carrot cake! Oops…where was I? Oh yes, you’re here for the dessert!

Today’s feature is a Raspberry Lemon Pie. Nice and easy for when you’re having friends over to sew or discuss a good read.

Raspberry Lemon Pie

Raspberry Lemon Pie

1 (10-oz.) package frozen red raspberries in syrup, thawed
1 T. cornstarch
3 egg yolks
1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup ReaLemon lemon juice from concentrate (This could be a marketing ploy – I don’t know why real lemon juice wouldn’t work.)
1 (6-oz.) packaged graham cracker crumb pie crust
(I prefer to make my own graham cracker crust – it’s not as pretty, but I think it has more flavor. Recipe follows.)
Whipped Topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small saucepan, combine raspberries and cornstarch; cook and stir until thickened and clear. In medium bowl, beat egg yolks; stir in sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice. Pour into crust; bake 8 minutes. Spoon raspberry mixture evenly over top. Chill 4 hours or until set. Spread with whipped topping and serve.

Graham Cracker Crust
Combine 1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 c. sugar and 1/3 c. melted butter. Press into the bottom of a pie pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Now for a project I’m currently working on. I’ve started a wedding quilt for TheFirstChild and SweetiePie. SweetiePie and I sat down and drew up a plan: she loves a) neutrals, b) mocha, and c) monograms. So, we decided on a simple patchwork background of neutrals with mocha highlights for the inner border, binding, and their new married monogram.

Wedding Quilt

I’m currently piecing the top, but in light of Pam’s post yesterday (Big Congratulations Pam!), I might have to check out Alex Anderson’s new quilting book on neutrals. That will provide a good diversion while I wait on my Lakehouse fabric order – I’ve ordered some of the much-loved champagne dots that I’m hoping will work for the outside quilt border.

So, Hollycakes! Thanks so much for inviting me to participate in the blogable feast. It’s been great fun to “meet” the bloggers and collect some fabulous recipes that will be perfect for when my quilting friends get together!

XOXO,
Anna

  1. Thanks so much Anna, I appreciate the congrats for sure. I’m still on a super high. Which would go good with that pie.

    Can’t wait to see what your project is! I loved working with my pile of neutrals, I still have a ton, so can’t wait to be inspired by your work.

  2. Anna that pie looks amazing! What are the crackers? What flavour are they? We would tend to use ginger biscuits or digestives to make a base like that. I really want to try it out – and I’m not a great pudding maker but it looks so delicious. In fact I think I should just come over to you and eat yours – shame it’s so far!

  3. We’ve got to fix this distance thing…..are you able to post a piece of that pie over my way? It looks very yummy! And I can’t wait to see the end result of the new quilt.

  4. That pudding looks lovely and I recognise almost all the ingredients this time! It’s the Graham crackers that keep me guessing. The wedding quilt sounds lovely – good luck with that

  5. Wow, can I have a piece of that pie? It looks so good!

    I am looking forward to seeing your neutrals quilt come along. I have never attempted something like that as far as color is concerned—it will be a good one,i am sure!

  6. Hi Anna! That pie looks good enough to eat ; )
    I can hardly wait to make it, since I love graham anything and anything with raspberries.
    This is my first visit to your blog, and I can’t wait to catch up with your posts.
    What a fabulous idea for a wedding quilt – so beautiful – I’m looking forward to the finished quilt pictures!

  7. Hi Anna,
    The pie looks fantastic!!!! Yummy!!

    You’re making your son and DIL-to-be a quilt. I have a daughter getting married in the Spring as I’ve mentioned before… and I’m NOT making them a quilt. Tee,hee! We need to talk… I have unlimited phone calls anywhere in the US. If you supply your number we could have a chat… or two.

  10. I was going to ask, too, what graham crackers were. They look like digestive biscuits, right enough. That pie looks very healthy, I must say, with all that fruit… Yes?

  11. Hi Anna, the pie looks so yummy. I love it when you post recipes…they always look so good. I can hardly wait to see the finished quilt. I love the colors.

  12. Oh Anna that pie looks like trouble to the waistline. YUMMO – But I knew that you would come up with something wonderful. Can’t wait to see the wedding quilt. I made the wedding quilt in fabrics way out of my comfort zone and LOVED the process of working with something so different. Hey your running with the big girls now, LOL.

    Hugs – Karen

  13. Ohhhhh that pie….drool drool drool.

    The quilt will be gorgeous, I’m sure. You are so wise to consult with SweetiePie so you’ll be making something they really love.

  14. Oh, Anna! We just finished eating some of this pie from your recipe. It is soooooooooo good. I made it for my raspberry-loving husband’s birthday. I used double the amount of raspberries too. Mmmmmmmm….. Thanks for sharing! I need to go lay down down.
