We live along a 130-year-old railroad track (our house once was a train station) and during a couple weeks every year, it is edged with wild raspberries. I use those raspberries for this incredibly delicious pie. —Kathy Jones, West Winfield, New York

I gave away 1 piece of this pie the first time I made it this summer, the rest (3 more) I ate all by myself. This is so good; I can't believe my taste buds, yum, yum... I told them where to find the recipe because it was so good. The fourth time, I did not have as many raspberries (end of season), but it was still great. If you don't like the recipe, you made it wrong. It is very sweet, but so what!!! I have told everybody I know how good it was. Thanks.

Pie was okay. Used regular 9" pie crust. Way too much filling. Enough for two pies but only had one shell. Did not need six cups of raspberries either. Huge waste of expensive ingredients since I had no second shell. The pie tasted okay though...not great, but it WAS good

Too sweet, filling was too soft, didn't ever set up. Big mess and waste of precious raspberries. Will make my tried and true recipe, from now on. Big disappointment

My mom has been making this pie for about 40 yrs except with pineapple or cherry topping. With the pineapple put a little of the juice in the cream cheese.

Wonderful recipe. Put a little less sugar in the filling and added a little real vanilla. Wish I had wild raspberries!! Wow.

Done this, or something very similar (other fruit) and there will be NO left overs. Zip, Nada, Nothing, empty pie plate with 'lick marks.'

Wonderful!! I loved the raspberries but I bet it will be just as great with the addition of blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries. I'll have to try that!

Tartness, with some sweetness. Perfect! My 9" pie plate was a little small. 10" might have worked better.

This pie was incredible. MIL made it the other week and everyone loved it. I've just made it again using blackberries. Still very yummy :-)

We love this recipe!! I made it when we had guests and people were practically licking their plates off!

To decrease the amount of sugar I substitute Splenda for the sugar, use sugar free whipped topping, and make a walnut flour crust. It's still wonderful!
