Raspberry Cherry Pie
No one can resist a slice (or two!) of this tart "cherry-berry" pie. Growing up, my sister and I requested this pie for our birthdays instead of cake. Now it's a favorite of my own family.

Best pie crust recipe! My whole family loved this pie. I am going to make it again, but this time I am going to use frozen cherries instead of canned. Can't say enough good things about this one.
My husband says this is the best pie he has ever tasted. I thought the crust was superb.
The filling for this pie was delicious, so for that I'm rating it a "5". I didn't care for the crust, though....it made too much pastry, so the pastry was rolled too thick. I've made crusts before that had an egg and vinegar in them and they were very flaky and good, but this one wasn't. I'll make it again, but use my own tried and true pastry recipe, using only two cups of flour, and milk for the liquid, that is thinner and much flakier. Also, I think I'd cut down on the sugar a bit. I also used a whole can of cherries, which may be more than one cup. At any rate...great filling, and the pie is delicious served warm with a little vanilla ice cream!
Maybe a bit too sweet could cut down on the sugar a bit but otherwise very easy to throw together, I used a ready made pie crust for less fuss

I made the pie and it was delicious. Hubby even raved about it. I ws not sue weather to drain the cherries or not, so I did drain them and it came out really well. This is a keeper.Brensmom
This looks delicious. My 12 yr old son recently made his first apple pie with a lattice top.On this recipe can I use butter flavored shortening?
