What am I gonna do with all these raspberries?
DON'T WASH THEM! Nothing is sprayed on plants or berries. They may crumble if washed.
1. Keep them cool right from the farm: bring a cooler with ice packs to the farm so your berries in pails stay firm and the juice doesn't leak.
2. Freeze them: lay out on parchment lined cookie sheets and freeze 3-4 hours, then move to ziploc bags in your freezer.
3. Jam: crush in pail and add sugar, lemon. Use your jam recipe or liquid Certo pectin. We make 250 ml jars to share and 500ml jars for home.
4. Pies: raspberry pie is the most decadent pie ever!! We like the lace top pie which saves crust, looks pretty, and minimizes boil over in the oven. Easier than your think! many how-to videos online
5. Baking: raspberries are great in scones, muffins or on cakes and pavlovas
6. Booze: fill a bottle or jar with raspberries and pour over Everclear til full. Leave sit 3 weeks. Sieve off berries. Make simple syrup. Sweeten to taste. Let sit 3 weeks. Voila! Raspberry Aperitif - many recipes online.
