Food52When I was little we would go for walks along a private drive that is now covered with many houses. I doubt if our bushes are still there. There was a red raspberry bush and a black raspberry bush. We learned to pick the sun-warmed berries without getting scratched by the rasping thorns or fearing the many bees. It was always hot, and the sweet berries were warm in our mouths and their juices dripped down our little chins. There is not a better taste than eating something you have picked yourself. That is why I like this recipe. It is basic and pure. My mother would argue about the inclusion of corn starch as being a little fancy. Eaten at room temperature these bring me back to Strawberry Hill, and the long warm summer walks we took. And as the winter is winding down we can finally look forward to languid summer days, and all the raspberries we desire.Food.comThis is the famous dish from Cunetto House of Pasta on "The Hill" in St. Louis. Recipe published in the Riverfront Times' Recipes 1997. This is not the same as the Pasta House version. . .this is a white sauce, not a pink one! This recipe is fast enough for a mid-week meal, but fancy enough to serve at a dinner party! Feel free to lighten it up a bit with light margarine and fat-free half and half (I have done it many a time with great results).Food.comNOTE: After fiddling with the conversions to quarts and lbs, I discovered this is for a huge crowd! So...I cut the recipe WAY down! While on a family vacation, we visited Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill in Mercer Co. Kentucky. This is the largest restored Shaker village in the US. If you are not familiar with the Shakers, they are the members of the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Coming. They led a very humble life, believing in celibacy, separation (men on one side of the house, women on the other), and the philosophy of "Hands to work, Heart's to God". Their contributions to agriculture, handcrafting, and furniture construction is awesome. Google "Shakers" and see for yourself. This recipe is served at the Trustee's House lodging and is part of what they call "daily fare". They are simply delicious and wonderful served with a slab of butter and a homemade biscuit. Cook time is approximate, as it depends on how hot your "low" is.
