Raspberry Pie

I am usually a pretty relaxed person, but when it comes to purchasing raspberries, I am, well, picky. They should have a deep red color, be soft not seedy, and dissolve sweetly in the mouth. I am happy when I find “squished” raspberries— I often feel a little guilty using perfectly formed raspberries for pies. Squished raspberries have great flavor and aroma and are perfect for pie. With squished raspberries, I can have my pie and eat it, too. Raspberry pies do not need much flavor enhancem
