Red, Golden and Wild Black Raspberry Mason Jar Pies

pie

Raspberries. Sweet, delicate berries that seem to make everything right.

By far, my favorite fruit. Our raspberry patch of golden and red berries has taken off and reached its full capacity in the area that I have dedicated for it.

I thought it was going to be enough to jam, freeze and make pies for the family.  I didn’t realize how much fun it would be for the boys to run around the house every morning scouring to taste the sweetness of the ripest berries.

This year, I lined one side of my driveway with raspberries hoping that in the years to come I’ll have enough to preserve.  “Boys, these are mama’s berries… hands off.”

Since the wild black raspberries are ripening in the woods, I went out with my father in law, mami and sister to forage for some berries to preserve.

It’s enjoyable to grow and forage for different varieties of raspberries as they each have their own unique flavor and sweetness.  It’s nothing like eating berries that have been refrigerated and packaged.

The wild black variety are one of my favorites. There’s something exciting about them growing in the wild free for anyone adventurous enough to tackle the heat, humidity and bugs.

Sure, I could have gone out to pick raspberries at a local u-pick farm but they’re quite expensive and it takes many berries to make a few pints of jam.

So foraging we went. We were rewarded with sweet beautiful berries that went into jam and pies for the family.

With only a couple cups of black raspberries left, I decided to mix them in with a few of our own red and golden berries to make 4 mason jar pies for my family on a Sunday afternoon.

There’s nothing to it when it comes to making a raspberry pie.  As long as you have local, fresh berries picked at their ripest, you can’t go wrong.

Their natural sweetness is overpowering.

I just added some local raw honey and tossed it with a bit of flour and lemon juice.

The fun part about making any type of cake or pie is decorating.

Yes, I love to decorate cakes and pies.

Hopefully, you will to.

      I agree with Stacy – pretty much “anything” that comes in a Mason jar is for me. 🙂

    Lovely! I’ve always wanted to try making this myself. I remember seeing my first mason jar pies over a year ago when I was “foraging” through the website to find some new recipes and food ideas :o)

    This looks great! I am so jealous. I don’t have any berry plants and the ones you buy at the store are terrible.

    How wonderful! You are very lucky — wild berries, wow! I’m surpised the pie crust is flexible enough to fit in the mason jars. I don’t have a go-to pie crust yet. Do you use butter and/or shortening in your recipe?

    They are absolutely stunning. I wish I had more jars around to make these. I have other small vessels, but it’s so nice to see the pie all the way through. I’m never even seen black raspberries before, here we only have wild blackberries. Do they taste similar?

    These mason jar pies are ADORABLE!!

    I LOVE raspberries. As a matter of fact, I’m really hoping to plant some (seeds or plants) next year. We use to have raspberries bushes growing on the edge of our property where I lived as a young child. Red raspberries are the best.

    P.S.
    I liked your mason jar pies so much that I included it in my recent “14 Amazing Pie Recipes.” 🙂
