    Black Raspberry Pie baked in a blue pie plate

    This is the best black raspberry pie because of it is a two-crust pie and has a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg to bring your fork back for another piece of this delicious pie.

    I use my favorite easy pie crust recipe for this pie, as well as other pies I make in my house. The is the same pie crust that makes an appearance in my apple cranberry pie. If you love black raspberries as much as I do, you will want to make my black raspberry jam. I even show you how to make it seedless!

    For something completely different I wanted to point you to one of the most popular posts on this site that you may not have seen yet: sous vide pork shoulder. Well worth the 24 hour cook time!

    ❓ How can you tell a black raspberry instead of a black berry?

    • Is the berry in question hollow?
    • Is the berry about the size of your thumbnail instead of the size of your thumb?
    • Does the berry make up of small fruit cells?

    📝 Recipe questions and answers:

    Can I use frozen black raspberries in this pie?

    If you can't find fresh black raspberries for this recipe you are welcome to use frozen black raspberries. Black raspberry season is short so finding them fresh is not always easy.

    Be sure to thaw the frozen berries at room temperature for about half an hour. Be sure to add all the thawed juice to the pie.

    What is the easiest way to remove the stem of a black raspberry?

    If the wild black raspberries do not come free of their stems and plugs when you pick them in the field it can be a bit painful to remove the plug when you are cleaning them at home.

    I found it easiest to gently hold the berry between your thumb and forefinger with one hand and use tweezers to gently remove the stem and plug with the other hand. Be sure to remove the entire stem as there are tiny thorns on the stem.

    Is a black raspberry the same as a blackberry?

    Black raspberries and blackberries come from the same genus and family and are often mistaken for each other. A black raspberry is a small, black-colored raspberry with very small white hairs between the fruit cells. 

    Farmers knick name the wild black raspberry as “black caps” due to the ripe berries coming clean off the bush without a plug, making it hollow inside. Black raspberries are one of the most well-researched berries, especially in the area of cancer prevention.

    🥧 Black Raspberry Pie Tips:

    1. Be sure to whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and spices. Not whisking them together could lead to a pie with lump from cornstarch lumps.
    2. Cool completely and refrigerate until chilled through for best slicing results.
    3. Check each berry for the stem and plug. Biting into a black raspberry thorn is not fun.
    4. Toss the berries gently to do your best to keep as many whole as possible.

    🧾 More Black Raspberry Recipes:

      3 stars
      The flavor of the wild black raspberry is absolutely outstanding!
      And I would give the pie 5 stars for flavor.
      The reason for 3? I really can't handle the seeds of the black raspberry.
      Way more intense than red raspberries.
      Curious if one could do like a reduced seed version? Would it hold up if one made a puree and filled the pie with the puree? Would there be a need for more corn starch or tapioca starch?

      Just curious if this can be frozen and baked later. If so…what would the instructions be? Thanks so much!
