Raspberries Are Ready!

July 14, 2012 by Valerie Lugonja 10 Comments

July 14, 2012: Zone Three Garden

Raspberries are the rubies of the garden. The first gorgeous, tart and sassy, sparkling, faceted jewels were ready to be plucked today. I had a raspberry party! The first fresh raspberry delicacy that I always make (ever since last year) is the French Raspberry Tart. Oooo-La-la. If there is a special occasion, nothing is better than the miniature version.

I am out picking every early morning – around 6 am, usually for three weeks. Some summers I have harvested a bucket a day from my humble urban patch. This looks like another bumper crop! I get so many that immediately after picking, I save a few for the day, and then freeze the rest on a parchment covered cookie sheet and bag this in freezer bags the next day. There are a lot of gorgeous recipes I make with the frozen berries and my favourite summer frozen raspberry recipe is my Raspberry Ice-Cream!

The yellow ones are not ripe yet…. soon…Boyne are my favourite variety. Yours?

    That tart (and everything else) is to die for!! lordy!

    When I left southern Australia for the sunny north I left all my raspberries behind. I think they’re the only things I miss. Oh, I miss my neighbours and I miss my asparagus. and the chickens.

    I do live on the water so there is a tradeoff but I’d love to have a garden.

    Valerie you are a lucky woman! Oh what a life it must be to wake up to a bounty of fragrant raspberries ripening up in the garden. I don’t know enough about varietals of raspberries – I’m so deprived! But I will start paying attention so I can start my own garden.

    I don’t actually think we have any varieties of raspberries here. Or maybe I just don’t know about them… Well that’s not entirely true as I have seen the yellow ones before but these look so good Valerie!
