Tom's not-so-recipe for Raspberry Lemon Meringue Pie

This is a creation made by Tom for last Thanksgiving. It has been done once, and only once, and without a recipe or writing things done. So, its more of a method than a recipe.

The filling: He cooked down fresh raspberries, adding a little sugar. Then, he smashed them (or, as Jesse would say- smooshed them.) Mix in a can of lemon pie filling and heat that all up. Throw it in a crust, and top with meringue and bake. That's all I got for you all.

He uses the meringue recipe in the classic red and white cookbook. Bake according to the directions of whatever meringue you use.

Commenting on my own post, hahaha.

We didn't try frozen raspberries. I wonder if they would work, because it would make this a whole lot cheaper. If someone wants to try it, let us know!

I would even look at trying a raspberry pie filling, from a can, pre-cooked and a little jellied/starched already. It would help the consistency and blend well with the lemon pie filling...

Thanks for posting this, it helps quite a bit and I am sure to try it this year.
