Fresh Red Raspberry & Blueberry Pie.
Are you looking for an amazing fruit pie that is tart and sweet and bursting full of fresh fruits of the season?
I haven’t baked a pie in a while, so I thought it was high time I treated hubby to something he would love being that it is Father’s Day weekend and all.
He would choose pie over cake or cookies approximately 99.5 times out of 100 – conservatively speaking.
I had some fresh red raspberries and some fresh blueberries in the fridge, but not enough of either to make a whole pie, so I decided to try combining the two into one pie.
I researched some recipes and then decided to combine things I liked about different ones into my own creation – including using tapioca instead of cornstarch as the thickening agent for this pie. Grandma always used tapioca in her berry pies, so there is no other way in my book!
This pie turned out perfectly thickened and so full of fresh berry flavors. It was a complete hit with Hubby – especially when topped with a melting scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
If you are looking for a new twist on berry pie, I hope you’ll give this recipe a try!
Fresh Red Raspberry & Blueberry Pie
- Double recipe for Pie Crust
- 2 cups fresh red raspberries
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup + 1 Tbsp. white sugar
- 1/4 cup tapioca

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a 9 inch pie plate with bottom pastry.
In a bowl, combine berries, 1 cup sugar, tapioca, flour, lemon peel, vanilla, and cinnamon. Gently stir, and pour into pastry lined pie plate.

Enjoy!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

This looks scrumptious! My Gram always used tapioca in her pies too. She was known as the Pie Queen because of her divine flaky crusts – me, not so much. Thank-you for sharing this recipe. P.S. Love the fork!!

I think using tapioca might be the old fashioned way – huh? it is the way i like best. I saw recipes with cornstarch, and I have never had success with that – not even remotely the same – right? Are you a pie baker Ellen?
