RED CURRANT AND RASPBERRY PIE



Red Currant and Raspberry Pie image

Fresh currants are one of summer's overlooked treasures. They are just as adaptable to baking as other more common berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. In fact, naturally tart currants are often paired with those sweeter berries for a perfect balance of flavors. Here, red currants and raspberries are tossed together and baked in a double-crust pie liberally sprinkled with sanding sugar. It's exactly the type of dessert you want to make-and eat-after a visit to a farmers' market or roadside fruit stand in high summer.

Yield one 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pâte Brisée (page 322)
10 ounces (2 cups) fresh red currants, stems removed
10 ounces (about 2 cups) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup instant tapioca
Finely grated zest and fresh juice of 1 lemon
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash
Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a 14-inch round, 1/8 inch thick. Fit dough into a 10-inch pie plate. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, gently toss together currants, raspberries, tapioca, lemon zest and juice, and granulated sugar to coat. Pour mixture into pie plate, piling fruit in center. Dot filling with butter.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out remaining disk of dough, as in step 1. Whisk together egg and milk. Brush edge of dough with some egg wash; place other round of dough on top, and trim to 1-inch overhang. Crimp edges; refrigerate or freeze pie until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; cut a few steam vents in top of pie. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F. Continue baking until juices are bubbling and crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes more. Let pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

RASPBERRY CREAM PIE



Raspberry Cream Pie image

Here's a pie for the middle of summer, when the raspberries are ripe and dessert should be cool and creamy. Think of it as vanilla pudding in a pie shell, a messily delicious way to showcase the flavor of fresh raspberries. Ruth P. Casa-Emellos, The Times's home economist, developed this recipe in the summer of 1952. It was published as French raspberry pie but later appeared in the recipe booklet "Fruit Pies: Delightful Confections Starring Fresh Fruits" as raspberry cream pie. We've made the red currant jelly optional. If you choose to include it, you'll get a gemlike glow and a crust-and-jam combination reminiscent of a homemade Pop-Tart.

RASPBERRY & REDCURRANT COBBLER



Raspberry & redcurrant cobbler image

Round off Sunday lunch with this comforting and fruity recipe - you might find it hard to leave the table...

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g redcurrant
500g raspberries
juice 1 orange
2-4 tbsp caster sugar
85g cold butter , cubed
200g self-raising flour
100g soft brown sugar
150ml full-fat milk
2 tbsp demerara sugar
crème fraîche or ice cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. If the redcurrants are still on their stalks, run each stalk through the tines of a fork to release them. If you have the time and inclination, pinch the little end stalks off - this will make them nicer to eat.
  • Put the redcurrants and raspberries into a 1-litre baking dish, add the orange juice and shake over most of the sugar. Taste a raspberry first to gauge whether you will need all the sugar or not.
  • To make the cobbler, whizz the butter, flour, soft brown sugar and a pinch of salt to fine breadcrumbs in a food processor. Mix in the buttermilk or milk to make a very soft, spoonable dough.
  • Dollop the dough over the fruit in blobs and sprinkle with demerara. Bake for 55 mins or until the top is golden and cooked through and the berries bubbling.

Tips and Tricks for a Perfect Red Currant and Raspberry Pie:

  • Use Fresh or Frozen Berries: Fresh berries will yield the best flavor, but frozen berries are a great option when fresh berries are out of season. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't Overfill the Pie Crust: The filling will expand as it bakes, so be careful not to overfill the pie crust. Leave about an inch of space around the edges of the crust.
  • Use a Pie Crust Shield: A pie crust shield will help to prevent the edges of the crust from burning. You can use a store-bought shield or make your own by cutting a circle of aluminum foil and placing it over the top of the pie crust.
  • Bake the Pie Until the Filling Is Bubbling: The pie is done baking when the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown. This will take about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This red currant and raspberry pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tart red currants and sweet raspberries creates a unique and flavorful pie filling that is sure to please everyone. With its flaky crust and juicy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this red currant and raspberry pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
