Raspberry Extract
Raspberry extract is a concentrated liquid flavoring derived from real raspberries, capturing the fruit's bright, sweet, and slightly tart flavor profile. It boasts an intense aroma and rich, red hue. A little goes a long way, making it a versatile ingredient for adding authentic raspberry notes to baked goods, beverages, and desserts. It is often used as a natural alternative to artificial raspberry flavoring, offering a true fruit taste and aroma.
Common Uses
- To enhance the raspberry flavor in cakes, muffins, and cookies, try adding a teaspoon of raspberry extract to your favorite batter for a burst of fruity sweetness.
- For homemade jams, jellies, or fruit preserves, incorporate raspberry extract to intensify the raspberry taste, especially when using less ripe berries.
- Elevate the flavor of your smoothies, milkshakes, or cocktails by blending in a few drops of raspberry extract for a refreshing and authentic raspberry taste.
- To create a delightful raspberry frosting or glaze, mix raspberry extract into buttercream, cream cheese frosting, or a simple powdered sugar glaze for a vibrant color and flavor.
- Enhance the taste of ice cream, yogurt, or other frozen desserts by stirring in a small amount of raspberry extract before freezing to give it a potent and natural raspberry flavor.

Storage Tips
Raspberry extract is best stored in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. A pantry or cupboard away from the stove is ideal. Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after each use to prevent evaporation and maintain its potency. Storing in the refrigerator can further extend its shelf life, though it's not strictly necessary. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods as the extract can absorb odors.
