Raspberry Rhubarb Crumble Pie. I am currently dealing with a raspberry infestation.
We have an enormous raspberry bush that runs the entire length of our house, and this past couple of weeks the berries have begun to ripen.

Not so, apparently. I have to pick them every day to keep up with them as they ripen; if I miss a day or two, I go out to see dozens of overripe berries fallen to the ground around the bush, and I can’t stand to waste them.

And I had a grand vision of what a delightful, educational experience it would be, but to be honest, my grandson showed his hiny something fierce. He threw several fits. He was a tad ungrateful.
