Raspberries!
What I know: picking raspberries with my husband,
popping a few choice morsels in my mouth,
competing for the bigger take,
talking as the light fades,
is my idea of a romantic evening.What I’ve learned: raspberries respond well to water.
The key to big berries is much, consistent water.
Thank you, son!100 Species:

Oh, yummy!
I was trying to think of what my favorite thing to do with fresh raspberries and I decided that it is to eat them just plain….no need to cook or sweeten.
Simple…. like fresh peaches
ummmm! Sounds like a VERY romantic evening to me!
Fresh, plain, with maybe a touch of pouring cream. . . ALMOST better than chocolate! heh heh heh
Well, I wouldn’t place much above chocolate, but I also enjoyed this sweet post — and the photo of the bowl of raspberries does invite reaching into
Oh, raspberries are my very favorite! I am jealous–they look much better than the store-bought ones! And I agree w/ applechexx ab/ having them w/ a bit of cream, although just plain by themselves is my 2nd favorite. And maybe in muffins, too. Lucky you!
All i can say after seeing your lovely bowl of raspberries—YUM.
We planted a few raspberries last year, the “Heritage” variety. We don’t have a big harvest yet, but even a small bowlful is a treat. They always make me think of my “Grandma Great”, who loved, loved, loved raspberry pie. She knew that when she had a piece, a gallbladder attack would follow. She ate the pie anyway and thought it worth the pain.
