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.
