LEMON CURD AND RASPBERRY SWIRL PIE

Steps:

Turn on heat to medium and cook until mixture starts to thicken. When it thickens up turn off heat and add jello and whisk until dissolved. Add fresh or frozen berries to the mixture.
• 2. Have your pie shell ready and lemon curd ready. With a soup ladle or a measuring cup add a layer of lemon custard than some of the berry mixture. Keep doing this until all the ingredients are done. At this point you need to put the pie in the fridge and let it chill for at least 4 hours or over night.
• 3. You can substitute raspberries for strawberries or even cherries will be good as well. You can also use a Grahm cracker crust if you prefer. I like to top my pie with some whipped topping.
