This is the raspberry bush in our backyard.  My dad had raspberry bushes when I was growing up but they were short, scrubby actual bushes and ours is more like a vine.  Every day we've picked the handful of ripe berries and saved them in the freezer for a rainy day.  I wanted to make jam if we got enough but I found this recipe...
These were fabulous!  I absolutely love this pastry!  I'm already thinking about it filled with apples or using it to top a chicken pot pie.  We are still getting plenty of berries every day but next time I make these, I'll strain out the seeds.  The recipe made twice as much filling as was needed so we're eating the remainder as refrigerator jam.  I just can't believe how tasty and simple the fruit filling is.
