Cookin’ with Debbie 6 medium fresh tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges By Debbie Johnston It’s already August and our gardens and local grocery stores are loaded with fresh fruits and vegetables. Here are some recipes that will let you take advantage of all that is in season. FRESH RASPBERRY PIE 1/4 cup sugar 1 tbs. cornstarch 1 cup water 1 3 oz. pkg. raspberry gelatin 5 cups fresh raspberries 1 - 9 inch pie crust, fully cooked and cooled I like to use my mom’s recipe for “Never Fail Pie Crust” found on page 65 of her cookbook, “Our Families Home Cookin’,” avail able for $8.00 at The INDEPENDENT. In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add the water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Cool for 15 min utes. Place raspberries in the crust; slowly pour gelatin mixture over berries. Chill until set, about 3 hours. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired. FESTIVE TOMATO WEDGES Everyone ends up with too many tomatoes! This is a favorite way to enjoy them.
