Scarlett O’Hara Raspberry Pie

Scarlett O'Hara Raspberry Pie by Angela Roberts

If Scarlett were to bake a pie, which would have been a cold day in Atlanta’s July, she would have made Raspberry Pie. It’s stands out from the crowd. It’s decadent, when pie is often seen as more common. It’s expensive as pie making goes, even if frozen raspberries are used.

In the cookbook, Desserts from the famous Loveless Cafe there is a recipe for Southern Belle Raspberry Pie. And, yes, that is where I got the inspiration. There is no woman more southern belle than Scarlett. She was amidst the crowd of ladies that cinched in their waste and ate pie before the picnic started, so they could appear to be dainty and eat like birds when the men were around.  This is probably why,  even though I live in the south, I’ll not be called a belle anytime soon.

Raspberries are a favorite in desserts, but not usually baked in a pie.  Raspberries are one of those perfect foods that are adorable and elegant all on their own or  with chocolate. They like to be seen and often get top billing in tarts, placed atop a pastry cream.  I am in love with this  french raspberry tart tart,  and  raspberry chocolate tart. I have a thing for tarts and make them often. In the last year, however, I developed a thing for pies.

Pies, in my opinion, are harder to master, because tart dough is easier to make than pie dough and is almost always a success. I took on pie dough as a personal challenge and it’s like riding a bike. Once you “get it” you have it forever.  I explained the differences in pie dough and tart dough here.

 This is the kind of pie that points a bit backwards to the days when women put a pie on the windowsill to cool, while taking off their flour dusted apron.  Somehow I think it would most certainly not have been Scarlett wearing that apron, but then again, times got tough for her and she seemed capable of being able to do anything.  And, if she thought it would have won over Ashley, the man she set out to marry, although I ‘ll never know why, I”m sure she would have chopped down the wood to put in the stove. Or maybe not, though her determination was unparalleled. It’s one thing to set your sites on Rhett Butler, but Ashley was a bit too weak and pansy for one so feisty as Miss Scarlett.

I have a bit of Scarlett determination. I’ve made so much pie crust in the past few years that I can do it without thinking, without fretting and without a recipe. It’s flaky. It’s tender. It’s not always as pretty as I’d like it to be, and one day I hope to slow down and make my pie look a little fancier.

Tarts are pretty because the pan does all the work, but pies take a little more effort.  On the other hand, a homemade pie doesn’t need to look machine perfect. It’s homemade and handmade and that has an appeal all of its own.

I detoured a bit from the Southern Belle Raspberry Pie recipe,  as they use orange zest, rose water and a vanilla bean. I used an orange liquer, tapioca instead of corn starch and pure vanilla extract.     I love the cookbook and while I might change the recipes up a bit, I will give full credit for their charming southern baking inspiration. You might want to see another recipe I baked from the cookbook. Red Velvet Cake.

Tell me how do you choose?  Rhett or Ashley? Scarlett or Melanie?  Tart or Pie?

Pie Crust Recipe Go Here to see my Pie Crust Video

  • 2 cups all purpose flour ( plus 1 teaspoon for later)
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup iced cold water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • milk for brushing on top to aid in browning
  1. Mix salt and flour together. Cut butter into small pieces. Freeze  both for a 15 minutes minutes, as butter softens immediately upon cutting. If using food processor, put flour mixture in bowl and freeze blade.
  2. Lay small pieces of butter evenly over flour and mix for 20 seconds at a time, stopping as soon as dough is shaggy. Stream in cold water. If using kitchen aid type mixer, use paddle attachment on low setting for one minute max.
  3. Stream in cold water on sides of bowl. Mix on low, just until incorporated. Form into disc , wrap in plastic at least one hour. I rest my dough overnight, but this is not a must.
  4. Take dough out 30 minutes before rolling to soften.
  5.  Roll out dough, evenly, not too thick, less than 1/4” thick and in all directions to make a circle. Do not stretch dough, because it will shrink back. Patch any cracks or holes. Use fork to make indentations.

Scarlett O'Hara Raspberry Pie

A southern pie adapted from Desserts from the Loveless Cafe, a Nashville legendary eatery.
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Pie dough use recipe as above
  • 5-6 cups fresh or frozen raspberries if frozen, thawed
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons tapioca
  • splash orange juice or orange liquer
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Mix raspberries with sugar liquor vanilla and tapioca.

Instructions

  • Prepare pie dough. Divide in ratio of two to one, using largest piece for bottom.
  • Roll out bigger piece for bottom of pie dough. Jab with fork. Put in raspberry mixture, tasting for sweetness.
  • For the Lattice Topping. Roll out, and cut into strips. Alternate the strips as a basket weave.
  • Bake for one hour and 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Notes

Raspberries become more tart as they bake so make sure the mixture is sweet enough. I like a tart pie, served with ice cream.

    This really does stand out in the crowd Angela. I can’t say I have ever had a raspberry pie since I only have access to them in small amounts at a time. A very decadent pie fit for Scarlett and any other Southern belle.

    I’m always impressed by a good lattice pie crust like yours, I’ve yet to master that and stick to tarts because they require less fiddling!

      Sylvie, there is a bit more fiddling, and I still can’t get the lattice nice and even because I do it free hand. Not exactly Martha. I’m sure she measures.

TUSCAN SHRIMP - You can find tuscan everything on Pinterest. Tuscan chicken, Tuscan salmon and my Tuscan shrimp. They all have one thing in common….a whole cup of heavy cream. I decided to slim it down a bit by adding only a splash of cream, and using a thickening gel made from xanthan gum, (recipe below)  and some broth. I spiced it up with some Trader Joe’s  bomba sauce, ❤️👩🏻‍🍳which in case you haven’t noticed, I put it in EVERYTHING. Recipe coming soon.

Taco Tuesday, even if you’re on keto! At first glance you would think you can’t eat this on a low carb diet. Think again. Fish fried with pork panko, sitting in my grain free tortillas (which you can buy in my bakery by the way). You can use a food processor to transform pork rinds into pork panko. I found the pork panko at costco (affordable, finally and they are life changing for a grain free diet).

We cannot control the crazy in our wold right now, but we can control what we eat. This spicy salmon is keto friendly with ground pork rinds giving crunch. Not only seriously delicious, but Omega 3 good for you. 
I choose healthy but I also choose pleasurable food. This is placed atop cauliflower rice and some nice white wine wouldn’t hurt either.  The spicy comes from Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba Hot Pepper Sauce made with fermented  Calabrian chili peppers. It’s my new go to. EASY Recipe coming soon.

My most popular blog post is this New York Strip Steak, 185,000 times this year! And, I get the nicest comments about my method. It’s a pan sear and then to oven recipe, but the tips are what bring success. It’s not a reverse sear, which I’ve done with some other steaks, because I like that method with really thick steak. Strip steaks tend to be thinner and the sear and roast method keeps my steak medium rare. Salt and Pepper are my only seasonings…Maybe a bit of butter and thyme. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/new-york-strip-steak-recipe/

Tips for the Perfect Steak

* Salt the steak 24 hours in advance. It goes into the meat overnight, adds moisture and enhances flavor
* Don’t cover steaks in the fridge. The outside of the steak should be dry if you want to sear them. Put them on a rack so both sides dry.
* Make sure the steak is dry, before searing. When ready to cook, I used to think my steak needed to come down to room temperature, but I now find that I get a better sear  with a cold steak, as long as the steak is dry. It’s the water that comes out of the steak that prevents that nice sear, also known as the mallaird effect.
* Start with a very hot  cast iron pan.
* Do not add oil until pan is hot.
* Use a round grill press, if you can, but no worries if you don’t have one.

Happy New Year! Fingers crossed🤞🏼. Prayers said. 🙏🏻Celebrating today with carnitas and a black eyed peas dip. 👩🏻‍🍳Lucky black eyed peans mean prosperous. Eating pork is also something about pigs rooting forward. Growing up we ate pork and sauerkraut every New Years. 🥳Today it’s a little bit more modern. The black eyed peas is coupled with black beans, pickled red onion from @thekitchn, pickled jalapeño, cilantro, various bell pepper, lime juice avocado and plenty of salt. You must have the salt to awaken and balance the vinegar. Since last week’s Nashville bombing, my appetite was meh. Today is a new year and I’ve invited company and look forward to all the good every year has, no matter what. Helmet of salvation beats this earth stuff any day! (Recipe will come to the blog this week). SpinachTiger dot com reached 12 years!

Cheeseball and Peaches  have so enjoyed the lockdown this year! This is a rare moment when they are actually cuddling together. They cuddle people more. They have the large deck outside to roam. They race around chasing each other in the middle of the night and for them life is wonderful. Reflecting on the past year, I’m truly an optimist, even in 2020.  Many good things happened, shadowed by Covid fallout some because of Covid. The biggest down for me personally was the lack of adventure, connection, parties, dining out, inviting people over, talking to my customers face to face. These are not shallow things. They are the things that boost the immune system and prolong life. Bread and water shared with people trumps a huge feast eaten alone. So my happiest times this year have been with people I love and the getaway at my friend’s farm. Getting OUTSIDE without a mask, without fear has meant everything. The joy of the Lord is my strength and I pray for a lot of JOY for 2021, for as a believer, it’s never pitch dark.

How warped time is now. Three days ago, bombing in Nashville. FBI says solved. Life goes on. Power restored. Went to my usual Monday morning workout. HOWEVER, my brain and heart can’t catch up this fast. Taking a day to chill, process, and look at the big fat year ahead. Bakery owner, full-time food blogger. Thinking about what new doors to open, what doors I should shut. I’ll leave you with this. 2020 started off amazing! I scheduled my first bakery classes and was so gleeful to be able to make one of my dreams come true. In March they all had to be cancelled. The bakery grew during the lockdown! The blog took a major hit in ad dollars due to pandemic. The blog grew substantially in 4th quarter. The blog broke all $ records this month. The bakery closed for three weeks substantial exposure to Covid (taking care of those infected) I never got it! 34 year old sister in law (ex) died suddenly of pancreatic cancer six weeks after diagnosis in July. Her father died five months later. My step mother’s duties increased a bit due to this. She inherited $10,000 from a separate source. So like everyone else, its been up and down and up and down and I didn’t even mention politics, riots, etc. WOW! However, unlike most people, I’m going to call this the best year of my life and marriage. WHY? I started a prayer call in March, praying 4 to 5 days weekly. It has changed my life, my husband’s life and those who come to pray. It has meant EVERYTHING!  By the way this is a cake I never wrote about. Blackberry w lemon mascarpone. What is the ONE GREAT THING of 2020 you experienced?

Can food make you feel better? Sometimes. But it’s been a rough two days. Remember when I said on Christmas Eve, “may tomorrow be as nice as this day: That didn’t age well. What a time! Great little Christmas morning and then I looked at my phone. A BOMB exploded in downtown Nashville. 😡😢Even though I live miles away, our cell service is still not working. We lost internet and TV as did thousands in five states.  Doug ran to Comcast the next morning to get us a temporary account. The scary thing aside from a BOMB, is how vulnerable we are with no cell service or internet (AT & T) as it was all housed in one building with no back up plan. Did you know our infrastructure is this vulnerable? Many of us still can’t call 911 if we needed to. 🙁We are grateful no residents were harmed from the bomb. We still don’t know the “who” in the remains. We don’t know what to believe. 🤷🏻‍♀️I highly recommend watching the Netflix show, Manhunt Deadly Games (about Richard Jewell (falsely accused) and Eric Rudolph (the actual Centennial Park Bomber). Great insight into serial bombers, lone wolfs, and the FBI. 🙏🏻 for not just Nashville but for America.
