I have always used 4 cups of fresh diced rhubarb instead of raspberries. It is delicious.

Made this yesterday for an Oktoberfest party. Didn't have quite enough raspberries so I added some blueberries to fill it out - great combination! It was a huge hit and I had several requests for the recipe. This is a keeper.

This is great. It isn't that much work for how fantastic it tastes. I used half blackberries last time to reduce the cost and it was still amazing. I think any berry or mangoes or peaches would all be good although raspberries are the best. I used a glass 9x13 pan and only needed to cook 37 minutes.

My garden produces an abundant crop of raspberries. So I went looking for recipes that used a fair amount and found this one. I now get requests to bring this. It is a huge success every time. Easy to make with in the cupboard ingredients.

I made this tonight! I have fall bearing raspberries and they are so abundant this year and I wanted to try this recipe as soon as I picked as many as what the recipe called for. This is delicious! I will be making it again and again!

My German Canadian Grandfather came to northern Illinois, 1900, with this recipe using canned or fresh sour red cherries. He used a plain lard based pie crust. A lifetime favorite!!!

Very tasty. I made one half recipe as I wanted to try it. I didn't have enough of the crust to cover the pan I used,, so it was a little too thin. It was still delicious. Next time I will make the complete recipe. Also, I did not have raspberries, so I used blueberries ... delicious! Thank you for the recipe.
