Ingredients
Instructions

- Cook over medium heat until the mixture becomes clear and thick.

Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker glaze, you can increase the cornstarch slightly, but be careful not to overdo it. If you don’t have fresh raspberries, frozen ones can be used, just thaw them beforehand. For a twist, consider adding a splash of vanilla or almond extract for extra flavor. This glaze also pairs beautifully with Aunt Shirley'S Walnut Pound Cake(125 Years Old) for a delightful dessert combination.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled for the best texture and flavor. It’s delightful on its own or topped with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Consider serving it alongside a refreshing Blackberry Delight Salad for a balanced meal. This pie also makes a lovely addition to any summer gathering or holiday celebration.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. If the glaze separates, gently stir it before serving. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or enjoy it cold for a refreshing treat.

Can I use other fruits for the glaze?
Yes, you can substitute raspberries with other berries like blueberries or blackberries. Just adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of the fruit you choose. Each fruit will give a unique flavor to the glaze, making it versatile for different preferences.
How do I make the glaze less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness of the glaze, try cutting back on the sugar by 1/4 to 1/2 cup. You can also add a splash of lemon juice to balance the sweetness with acidity, giving the glaze a brighter flavor without the added sugar.
