Using sound judgment to be more self-reliant.
We share what you need know to grow raspberries, from planting to harvest, plus the difference between Summer Bearing and Fall Bearing Raspberries.
Raspberries provide delicious sweet tart fruit for fresh eating, cooking and preserves such as jams and jelly. With the right plants, you can have fruit the first year.
These easy chocolate raspberry granola cookies are soft, chewy and delicious. They’re sweetened with honey and loaded with oatmeal, chocolate chips, fruit, nuts and other hearty ingredients.
You just might be tempted to have these for breakfast instead of dessert, especially if you’re a granola lover.
…This peach raspberry jam is my husband’s new favorite jam of the season. Peach jam and raspberry jam are great by themselves, but peach raspberry jam leads to a new level of “yummy” for your homemade jam.
I love the taste of fresh picked raspberries, still warm from the sun. When I was a little girl, momma always maintained two raspberry patches – one red and one golden – and we spent many hours picking and preserving the luscious little gems. This raspberry cream pie recipe was one of my momma’s favorites, which our family still enjoys. I’ve included a gluten free adaptation, which is shown in the photos.
Cold nights have set in hard this October. So far it’s the second coldest on record. Add to that, the rains that were scarce during the growing season have been putting in more regular appearances, making harvesting messy, at the very least. In spite of the weather, we’ve been working on cleaning up the garden and bringing in the fall harvest.
Some of our family favorites that were still going strong at frost time were the Fall Red and Fall Gold raspberries. I really like these everybearing varieties because they start producing in late June/early July and keep going until frost. I put down soaker hoses in the patches back in July after it became obvious that we were going to be short on rain this season, and that saved the crop. Over the course of the season, we gathered quite a few quarts of berries. Several of them went directly into tummies, into pie, and into the jam pot, but most went into the freezer.
Raspberries are very tasty, but they also pack a lot of nutritional punch.
