The raspberry season

Every year the canes at the end of the garden give more than we can eat. Here is what we do with them.

1. Eat them warm from the sun, at the canes.
2. On yogurt, with a spoon of honey.
3. In a sponge cake, pressed into the top before it bakes.
4. Frozen on a tray, then kept in a bag for winter.
5. Given to the neighbours, who give us plums back.

A note on picking

Pick in the morning, when the fruit is cool. A ripe berry comes off with no pull at all.
