RED CURRANT - RASPBERRY LATTICE PIE



Red Currant - Raspberry Lattice Pie image

A red currant and raspberry pie with intense flavor and deep color.

Provided by Gordan

Categories     Dessert

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

113 g unsalted butter (cold)
184 g all purpose flour
1/8 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp baking powder
85 g mascarpone cheese (cold)
1.5 tbsp ice water
1/2 egg white (large, lightly beaten)
150 g granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornstarch
a pinch sea salt
234 g red currants (rinsed, stems removed, dried)
284 g red raspberries
2 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed )
1 egg yolk (large)
1 tsp heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place a medium mixing bowl in the freezer to chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Cut the butter into approximately 20 mm (3/4") cubes. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place flour, salt, baking powder into a medium bowl and mix to combine.
  • Add the mascarpone cheese and rub the mixture between your fingers until it has a consistency of a coarse meal.
  • Transfer the flour mixture and cooled butter into a large Ziploc bag. Expel any air from the bag and close it. Use a rolling pin to flatten the butter into flakes. Put in the freezer for 15 min, until butter is firm.
  • Empty the bag, scraping the sides of the bag into the chilled mixing bowl.
  • Add the ice water to the mixture and toss around with wooden spoon until somewhat incorporated. Knead with your hands briefly until the mixture holds together in one piece. Work as fast as you can to prevent softening the dough.
  • Divide the dough, cutting out about 1/3 for a lattice. Use about 270 g for a shell and the rest for the lattice. Flatten the pie shell dough into a disc and lattice dough into a rectangle. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
  • Cut a piece of parchment paper, big enough to be able to roll the pie shell on with a diameter of 330 mm (13").
  • Take out the chilled pie shell dough disc from the fridge and roll out the dough with a rolling pin on top of the parchment paper, working from the center out. Keep rotating the paper to make the dough circle as even as possible. Work quickly to prevent the dough softening. The final rolled dough circle will be 330 mm (13") with thickness of about 3 mm (1/8").
  • Transfer the dough into a 229 mm (9") baking pan. Turning the parchment paper upside down, carefully peel off the paper. Fit the dough gently to the pan without stretching. The dough should extend about 19 mm (3/4") past the side of the baking pan. Fold the dough under so it is flush with the outer edge of the pie pan. Cover with the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In a medium size bowl mix together sugar, cornstarch and salt.
  • Spread half of the currants over the bottom of the pie shell following with half of the raspberries on top of them.
  • Sprinkle the berries with half of the sugar mixture.
  • Repeat with another layer of currants following with layer of raspberries and sprinkling the remainder of sugar mixture.
  • Add the lemon juice.
  • Roll out the smaller rectangular piece of dough into an oval shape, roughly 254 mm x 203 mm (10.5" x 8"). Using a ruler and pizza or pastry cutter, cut nine 19 mm (3/4") strips.
  • Arrange woven lattice decoration with 5 lattice strips spaced evenly in one direction, and another 4 at a 90° angle. Use the egg white to moisten the dough under each strip.The easiest way to weave the lattice is to gently curve back every other lattice strip. The 2nd and 4th strip curve back to just pass the center and place another strip perpendicular on top. Now uncurve the two strips so they lie flat on top of just inserted perpendicular strip. Now curve back the strips 1,3 and 5 and place another strip perpendicular on top. Follow with uncurving them flat. Turn the pie 180° and repeat the process with two more strips.
  • Trim each strip to 13 mm (1/2") overhang and tuck it under the crust border, press it down to adhere.
  • Lightly beat an egg yolk and the cream.
  • Brush the lattice and the border with the glaze.
  • Preheat the oven to 218 °C (425 °F) for at least 20 minutes before baking.
  • Set the oven rack at the lowest level.
  • Bake the pie for 40 to 50 minutes. After 15 min of baking, protect the pie edge from burning with an aluminum foil ring.
  • Cool the pie on a rack for a minimum of 3 hours before serving.

RASPBERRY CREAM PIE



Raspberry Cream Pie image

Here's a pie for the middle of summer, when the raspberries are ripe and dessert should be cool and creamy. Think of it as vanilla pudding in a pie shell, a messily delicious way to showcase the flavor of fresh raspberries. Ruth P. Casa-Emellos, The Times's home economist, developed this recipe in the summer of 1952. It was published as French raspberry pie but later appeared in the recipe booklet "Fruit Pies: Delightful Confections Starring Fresh Fruits" as raspberry cream pie. We've made the red currant jelly optional. If you choose to include it, you'll get a gemlike glow and a crust-and-jam combination reminiscent of a homemade Pop-Tart.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups/453 milliliters whole milk
1 whole vanilla bean

Transfer to double boiler and cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to the consistency of thick custard. Strain and cool to room temperature. Fold in whipped cream.
  • Pour mixture into baked pie shell. Cover with raspberries.
  • Melt jelly over very low heat, stirring, until liquid. Pour or brush evenly over raspberries. Chill.

RASPBERRY CURRANT SAUCE



Raspberry Currant Sauce image

This sauce is usually served with Finnish or Danish rice pudding. When I made this with Finnish rice pudding, my husband said I could forget the pudding, but begged that I keep making the raspberry currant sauce on a regular basis! It can also be made with fresh raspberries or cranberries, fresh or frozen. Serve on vanilla ice cream, pound cake, or over fresh berries.

RASPBERRY & REDCURRANT COBBLER



Raspberry & redcurrant cobbler image

Round off Sunday lunch with this comforting and fruity recipe - you might find it hard to leave the table...

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

200g redcurrant
500g raspberries
juice 1 orange
2-4 tbsp caster sugar
85g cold butter , cubed
200g self-raising flour
100g soft brown sugar
150ml full-fat milk
2 tbsp demerara sugar
crème fraîche or ice cream, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. If the redcurrants are still on their stalks, run each stalk through the tines of a fork to release them. If you have the time and inclination, pinch the little end stalks off - this will make them nicer to eat.
  • Put the redcurrants and raspberries into a 1-litre baking dish, add the orange juice and shake over most of the sugar. Taste a raspberry first to gauge whether you will need all the sugar or not.
  • To make the cobbler, whizz the butter, flour, soft brown sugar and a pinch of salt to fine breadcrumbs in a food processor. Mix in the buttermilk or milk to make a very soft, spoonable dough.
  • Dollop the dough over the fruit in blobs and sprinkle with demerara. Bake for 55 mins or until the top is golden and cooked through and the berries bubbling.

RED CURRANT AND RASPBERRY PIE



Red Currant and Raspberry Pie image

Fresh currants are one of summer's overlooked treasures. They are just as adaptable to baking as other more common berries, such as blueberries and raspberries. In fact, naturally tart currants are often paired with those sweeter berries for a perfect balance of flavors. Here, red currants and raspberries are tossed together and baked in a double-crust pie liberally sprinkled with sanding sugar. It's exactly the type of dessert you want to make-and eat-after a visit to a farmers' market or roadside fruit stand in high summer.

Yield one 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pâte Brisée (page 322)
10 ounces (2 cups) fresh red currants, stems removed
10 ounces (about 2 cups) fresh raspberries
1/4 cup instant tapioca
Finely grated zest and fresh juice of 1 lemon
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 large egg, for egg wash
1 tablespoon milk, for egg wash
Coarse sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a 14-inch round, 1/8 inch thick. Fit dough into a 10-inch pie plate. Refrigerate or freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, gently toss together currants, raspberries, tapioca, lemon zest and juice, and granulated sugar to coat. Pour mixture into pie plate, piling fruit in center. Dot filling with butter.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out remaining disk of dough, as in step 1. Whisk together egg and milk. Brush edge of dough with some egg wash; place other round of dough on top, and trim to 1-inch overhang. Crimp edges; refrigerate or freeze pie until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; cut a few steam vents in top of pie. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°F. Continue baking until juices are bubbling and crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes more. Let pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe berries: This will ensure that your pie has the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will make it easier to work with.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the berries: This will prevent them from tearing.
  • Don't overcook the pie: Overcooking will make the berries tough and the crust dry.
  • Conclusion:

    Red currant and raspberry pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious dessert, give red currant and raspberry pie a try!
