Let's try to take fresh raspberries as a basis and combine different types of dough with them . You will learn how to make a pie with fresh raspberries from yeast, shortbread or puff pastry.
What raspberries do you need?
For filling the pie, you can take not only fresh red raspberries. A beautiful combination will turn out in a pie with yellow or black berry. You can use the one that grows in your garden or in the country.
If you prepare the berries for the winter in frozen form, they can also be put into action when baking in the cold months. Just do not need to defrost them. Roll the berries in flour and send to the dough. It’s so convenient to make biscuit pies.
Berry preparation
Raspberries are one of the few berries inside which small worms can hide. It’s easy to find them, just look inside the berries. Especially if you buy raspberries in the market from unverified sellers. Yes, and picking their berries from the branches in the country, still look inside each.
The second part of the initial preparation is washing them in water. Namely: you need to pour in a volumetric cup of cold water and immerse raspberries in it. Rinse them with your hands and catch them from the water.
Then lay out on a towel so that the water leaves. And in raspberries after washing there will be a lot of moisture. So get ready to change the towel. It must be remembered that after such a procedure, a linen napkin is hardly washed to its original light color. But a piece of paper towel red spots from raspberries will not be scary!
With or without bones?
A pie with fresh raspberries can have one drawback (or an advantage, in the case of raspberries this is a moot point) - a large number of small stones. What to do with them? It depends on the desire of the cook and his ideas. If the cake is decorated with whole (halves) of berries or the filling will be raspberries laid next to it, it is impossible to remove the bones. Yes and no!
But if the idea of the recipe is chopped filling, then raspberry puree is better to strain through a sieve. Then it will be softer and softer, and the aroma characteristic of the berry will remain. But the bones will be gone. And it is extremely convenient! For example, in a gelled pie filling, where the bones will be quite inappropriate.
