I don't know why someone hasn't tried this easy recipe! I made a homemade pie crust instead of store bought, your choice, but a homemade one gives it special flavor! I had just stopped by a blueberry festival and bought not only a blueberry plant but a large quantity of blueberries. So of course, I added them to the raspberries! I made this pie twice. Once following the recipe exactly, then changing a few things! Not using the raspberry jam seemed better, fresher tasting, homemade pie crust and added blueberries. Terrific! The crumb topping I added some chopped pecans and voila! Served it to dinner company and they loved it!
