Last year’s crop

Brandon and I have big plans of enjoying summer and raspberry picking this weekend. The raspberry season just opened up on July 5 and we’re going to head down to Harvold Farms, the u-pick spot we visited last year. In just 30 minutes we were able to pick 6.5 lbs of berries. (And that’s with the ‘one in my bucket, one in my mouth’ technique!)

In anticipation of having that many (or more!) raspberries again, I dedicated some quality time to picking out some really tasty raspberry recipes for our anticipated bounty.

Without further ado, here are the best of the best raspberry recipes that the internet has to offer…

How to freeze raspberries: We’ll probably need this!

And then I discovered the Driscoll’s recipe database. O-M-G were there some delicious-looking recipes! I was so gaga for them that Brandon laughed at me. Seriously. Lucky for him, I’m totally going to make these! Find all of the Driscoll’s raspberry recipes here. They also have an extensive database for strawberries, blueberries and blackberries.
