This was delicious! My husband prefers graham cracker crust, so I used that instead. Of course, what can make it better...chocolate :) Using a chocolate graham cracker crust made it a home run!

This is my favorite fresh Raspberry Pie. If the glaze is not thickened (as the other reviewer said happened) then cook a few moments longer until it is. It has a wonderful flavor and since the raspberries are fresh they aren't all mushy. I will be making this again and again.

I made this pie according to directions, however, it was very runny. Perhaps it needed more cornstarch. The flavor was very nice.
