Black Raspberry Recipes With Honey

BLACK RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• If you're making your own pie dough, start by doing that. Here's my recipe.
• After making the dough, divide it into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
• Just before you're ready to roll out your dough, wash and dry your berries.
• Pour them in a bowl and add the sugar (and honey if using), lemon juice, and tapioca starch. Mix together gently to combine, but be careful not to break apart all of the berries. Set aside.
• Roll out your pie dough. Press into the pie pan and place back in the fridge for 30 additional minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• When the dough has chilled again, pour in the berry pie filling. Top the pie as you please (see notes for lattice instructions).
• Brush the cream on the crust. Sprinkle with the coarse sugar or regular sugar.
• Place the pie plate on a baking sheet and cover with foil.
• Bake for 25 minutes before turning the oven down to 350 degrees F. Remove the foil. Bake for an additional 40-45 minutes or until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbling.
• Cool on a wire rack almost completely before serving so the filling can set up.

RASPBERRY HONEY

Steps:

• Combine honey and raspberries in a small saucepan; cook over low heat until just simmering. Remove from heat; let stand 30 minutes. Strain, pressing down on mixture with a spoon (save the solids for smoothies). Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

BLACKBERRY-RASPBERRY HAND PIES

Steps:

• Whisk together sour cream, lemon juice, and ice water in a bowl. Mix together flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar in a large bowl. Add butter and beat with a mixer on medium-low until mixture resembles coarse meal with some blueberry-size clumps remaining. Gradually beat in sour-cream mixture until just combined but still crumbly. (Squeeze a small amount of dough to see if it holds together. Beat in more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if necessary.) Divide dough in half, gather into 2 flat rectangles, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until just firm, 45 minutes.
• Roll out each rectangle of dough into a 7-by-14-inch rectangle on a piece of floured parchment with a floured rolling pin. (Dough will be very thin.) Transfer rectangles on parchment to 2 baking sheets and refrigerate until firm, 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir together berries, remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Slide 1 dough rectangle, still on parchment, onto a work surface. With a long side facing you, cut dough crosswise into four 3 1/2-by-7-inch strips.
• Mound 2 tablespoons berry mixture in center of bottom half of each strip. Brush edges with egg wash and fold top half over fruit to enclose. Press firmly to seal and trim bottom edge, leaving folded top edge uncut. Cut vents in each pie and place about 2 inches apart on baking sheet lined with fresh parchment. Transfer to freezer. Repeat with remaining dough and berry mixture. Freeze hand pies until very firm, at least 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. Lightly brush pies with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake, rotating sheets and switching racks halfway through, until pies are golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
