This berry pie combines raspberries, black & blueberries. When I was a child I would visit my grandma in central WI. She had raspberry bushes in her yard & I remember spending my days eating raspberries & cream or raspberry preserves. My love of berries continued every summer on vacation in Barron County. We stayed at a resort where there were wild raspberry & blackberry bushes. Again I spent many mornings eating berries & cream. Every time we revisit the lake my wife now continues that tradition. A couple years back I had a frozen store bought mixed berry pie that I thought was the tastiest pie I’ve ever had. I was reminded of times spent with my family & decided I’d attempt to recreate the pie. My grandma, mom & dad have all passed & I have moved to a different town from my brother. Now when I make my pie it not only gives me a warm feeling from the taste but also from the fond memories of my family.
