Summer Fresh Raspberry Pie Recipe

Heat 1 cup raspberries and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until raspberries soften about 5 minutes. Strain raspberries into a bowl through a fine mesh sieve; discard seeds. Return mashed berries to the saucepan.

Stir cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water in a bowl until dissolved and stir into mashed berries; add sugar.

Heat raspberry mixture over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Allow raspberry sauce to cool to room temperature.

Line the prepared pie crust with remaining 3 cups raspberries. Pour raspberry sauce over berries and chill until set. Serve garnished with whipped cream and lemon zest.
