RASPBERRY TOPPED LEMON PIE ...p90

The closest comparison I can make to this pie might be Sour Skittles - a candy known to cause excessive salivation.  At first bite, I puckered my mouth at its tangy-ness (is that a word?), but then settled in to its sweet aftertaste.  The frozen raspberries completely broke up in the cooking and I think fresh ones might hold up better, or, perhaps after spreading the whipped cream, a colorful scattering of fresh raspberries on top would be nice.  All liked the rich pie well enough, but truth be told, I'd prefer cheesecake....

Hardy Appetit!
