The raspberries at Greysmarsh Farm are ripening. I love raspberries and I love picking them. I’m a forager at heart. I also love reaching into the freezer and pulling out berries I’ve harvested. It’s fun to be surrounded by happy people picking, too. As I walk down the rows of plants as I pick I hear snippets of conversations. I lost track of how many times I heard “vanilla ice cream” as I picked. Perfect pairing!
I came home with over five pounds. The raspberry sorbet I made is already gone. I may have to find some vanilla ice cream. There are some raspberries waiting for their gastronomic soul mate.
Kay, you are making my mouth water.
I would like them better with chocolate ice cream. 😉
They go nicely into coffee cake recipes, muffins, and cheesecake!
We too have been getting the ripe berries – what a delightful area we live in. And vanilla ice cream – perfect with the local raspberries. Aren’t you glad the temperatures cooled down a llittle?
Beautiful deep red colour; try with chocolate ice cream also, or with a bowl of cream!
Oooohhhhh, that looks wonderful. It has been too long since I picked berries. We do pick apples around here.
