Welcome to my cookbook! I have several recipes that folks have asked for, so I decided to post them here. Some are included in the ward cookbook, but many of them are things I found after that was published so I wanted a place to put them so my family had access to them. I'll add to this as I find things that I think need to be shared. If you have a recipe you'd like to add, let me know and I'll add you as a contributor.

Fresh Berry Pie

2-3 quarts berries, depending on the size of your crust (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
1 bottle (10 oz) "Simply fruit" jam (flavor to match the berries, or you can use regular jam)
1/4 cup water
1 pre-baked pie crust

Slice berries (or lightly mash, for raspberries and blackberries), reserving 10 of the best looking large strawberries or 1 cup raspberries or blackberries for the top of the pie.  For strawberries, halve the reserved berries.

Microwave the jam and water in a glass bowl and whisk to blend.  Pour over the berries prepared for the pie filling, reserving a couple of tablespoons for glazing the top of the pie.  Transfer the berries to the baked pie crust.

Top the pie with the reserved pretty berries and brush with the reserved jam glaze.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Top each slice with whipped cream if desired.
