Common Uses
- Use fresh raspberries to make homemade raspberry jam or jelly. Their natural pectin content helps with gelling, resulting in a bright and flavorful spread perfect for toast or scones.
- Bake fresh or frozen raspberries into muffins, scones, or quick breads for a burst of fruity flavor and moisture. The tartness of the raspberries complements the sweetness of the baked goods beautifully.
- Create a refreshing raspberry vinaigrette by blending raspberries with vinegar, oil, and a touch of sweetener. This tangy dressing is delicious on salads with greens, goat cheese, and nuts.
- Top yogurt parfaits or oatmeal with fresh raspberries for a healthy and flavorful breakfast or snack. Their sweetness and texture add a satisfying element to these simple dishes.
- Prepare a classic raspberry sauce or coulis to drizzle over desserts like cheesecake, ice cream, or chocolate cake. The vibrant color and intense flavor elevate any dessert presentation.
- Incorporate raspberries into smoothies for added sweetness, texture, and nutritional benefits. They blend well with other fruits, vegetables, and protein powders for a satisfying and healthy beverage.
