I Love Raspberries

I think raspberries are my all-time favorite summer berry. I love them fresh off the bush or made into jam, and especially in summer desserts. This year we had a friend open her patch to us while she was out of town. It’s been the most satisfying week of berry picking!

I know I should grow my own. I do have a patch but it struggles against the brute force of overpowering cottonwoods. I put them in a tough place and they’re not doing very well against the thirsty cottonwoods who suck up all the water I put on them. I’ve got to get them moved so I can have my own raspberry patch!

What is a Raspberry Buckle?

A buckle is the most simple cake recipe you can imagine with fresh fruit sprinkled over. The cake bakes up around the fruit light and fluffy, the fruit is juicy and perfect, and together they are the ultimate summer dessert. When you add raspberries they make little pockets of juicy berry bites right in the cake, so delish!
