This pie was wonderful and a big hit with my guests today. I had to use frozen berries and after mixing the ingredients and preparing the pie crust they were partially thawed. The baking times still worked with the substitution. We don't like our desserts to be really sweet and I reduced the amount of sugar to 1 cup.

This pie was heavenly!! I didn't think it was tart at all, just not overly sweet, and it was perfect! I didn't have enough raspberries, so I made a small pie, just a 6 inch tin, so about a half pie. That little pie is on the kitchen counter calling my name right now. My husband said he knows I'll pick at it all evening...I really could eat the whole thing! This is truly one of the best pies I have ever tasted, and I will make it many, many times! Love our Northwest berries. Thanks, Lynn!

I made this last night using home grown berries. It was really good. Hubby thought it was a little tart and suggested more sugar. I did think it was a tad tart, but I am not sure I would add more sugar either. I don't mind. Eating it with vanilla ice cream would do the trick, I am sure. Either way, I liked this recipe and will definitely make it again. It was really easy. I paired it with the crust found here-http://www.food.com/recipe/martha-stewarts-pate-brisee-basic-pie-crust-229387- and added a little powdered sugar to the crust. I had seen another crust call for that so I decided to try it. I did not love it raw, but it tasted great all put together.
