5 large eggs, beaten
2 prepared pie crusts

Directions:
Mix together the lemon slices and the sugar in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Return the lemons to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Chambord comes from the French chateau of the same name. It tastes much better as you lounge in the Loire valley, but if that’s not feasible, this pie can take you back.

Ingredients:
1 single pie crust
¾ cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
5 cups fresh unsweetened raspberries
¼ cup Chambord
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
Dash salt
¾ cup whipping cream
Fresh red raspberries, optional

Directions:

Transfer the filling to the crust. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover the pie and continue baking for 25 to 30 more minutes, or until the filling bubbles. Cool. Before serving, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt and beat. In another bowl, beat the whipping cream until peaks form.
