One of the greatest of all summertime pleasures is eating raspberries.
Fresh off their thorny bushes, baked into pies or turnovers, or mushed with a sprinkle of sugar, these ruby red darlings are a highlight of summer.
Part of their allure is that they remind me of my father. He had a slew of raspberry bushes behind the garage at our old family homestead.
In the summer, when the buds burst open into fat, juicy red berries that stained one's fingers, my father was in his glory. Few things gave him more pleasure than picking berries and sharing them with his kids.
Raspberries have a sweet/sour taste and well, they are just delectable.

Yusef loves raspberries. Last summer while at my aunt's place in Michigan, they could go out into her garden to pick them and would do so for a breakfast treat on cereal or oatmeal and if she got enough, she would bake up a little pie. I bought a frozen berry blend last nite and will probably make a cobbler. Have a great day. Tammy

The saddest thing. I had to remove my raspberry canes to make room for a vegetable garden. We saved some to transplant but I lost them all... Sigh.
Blessings, Debbie
I agree - I love raspberries and they are so healthy for you too - doesn't often happen that things that are good for you are good tasting!
