Razzleberry Pie


Since I'm posting Thanksgiving recipes today,  here are my thoughts on Black Friday as well:


I don't really get why people go to movies over Thanksgiving weekend.


An even better idea is to grab some popcorn and stake out a spot at Walmart in view of the doorbusters.


Watching 100 adolescents and adults in a frenzy over the PS3 display?  Easily the most entertaining part of my Thanksgiving weekend.

And free.


I couldn't help laughing out loud.  Multiple times.  The people at my Walmart are pretty nice so I was in a happy mood, but if you get your nose broken by some Grandma's purse or your My Little Pony set for your kids is stolen by a shopper in drag, I can understand having differing feelings.


That's ok.

We can still bond over pie.


Specifically?


Razzleberry pie.


It knocks the socks off of Marie Callendar's Razzleberry (the most delicious pre-made pie ever), so that, my friends, is saying something.

This pie is easy and delicious.  It was a bit tart, so I may add more sugar next time but my husband and my mom thought it was perfectly tart.  Personal opinion I suppose.  It would definitely have been fabulous with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

PLEASE make a homemade crust for this.  It really makes a difference!

I’m partying at the Pi Day Pie Party at Crazy for Crust today. Come party with us!

Rustic Pie Crust {Flakiest pie crust ever}


This pie crust is SO flaky and crumbly and has a wonderful texture.  I do think it is more difficult to work with than my easy flaky pie crust, so if you are a beginner, you may want to try that one.

Once cooked, this crust has a beautiful rustic look to it.  It is perfect for fruit pies that use a double-crust.
