I’m hoping to try this for my Galentine’s party! Do you think Raspberry preserves would work instead of raspberry filling? Thanks!!

Did you make your own raspberry pie filling or buy it? Haven't been able to find. Thank you.
Sarah
I make my own, I have trouble finding it in stores too, and actually I have the recipe for that coming to the blog soon!
Nancy
Any tips. Have made this several times and it doesn’t set up
Runny. Tastes good but runny and can’t slice it
Jessica
Hey Nancy, did you refrigerate it for the set amount of time? I've never had that problem before, it should set up enough to cut after awhile in the fridge.

Oh my goodness this pie looks so goood! And I love how easy it is to make. We may be having raspberry pie instead of pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving!!
Jessica @ Pretty Providence
We always have this as one of our Thanksgiving pies and it is always a crowd pleaser! My husband is a serious pie man though, so we can't have just one kind! Haha
