Right now my yard is an explosion of deliciousness. Red and Black raspberries. I have no recipes for them as they don't last long. I eat while I'm picky, I munch to the door, and gulp a few more before the bowl hits the kitchen table. I anounce "got berries" and some one will appear, mouth open, waiting for me to pop one in still warm from the morning sunshine. We eat them as is, they go on cereal, some get yogurt and honey, but none last long enough to be cooked or baked into anything. Our dog even loves the berries. She will brave the briars to strip a few off the canes while I pick. I have even seen her go out and snag a few when she thinks no one is looking.
This time of year there is not need to go after the exotic or imported in fruit. There is plenty right here. Raspberries are among the top 10 for antioxident content as well as being a good source for vitamin C and Folate. For a one cup serving you get 8 grams of fiber, only 64 calories and one carbohydrate serving.
Last week we had strawberries, this week is raspberries and next week the blueberries are coming.
