Raspberries are one of England’s favourite fruits, but they do go off quickly, so use them up soon after purchasing (or visiting the PYO farm) or freeze to use later on. To do this, wash and dry the berries, then freeze in a single layer on a baking tray, then transfer to a silicone freezer bag.
Easy Vegan Berry Cobbler (The First Mess) is an American dessert (like fruit crumble but less crumbly!) The vanilla-sweetened berries are topped with a buttery oat/spelt biscuit topping, then served with vegan vanilla ice-cream.
People with sensitivity to pollen may wish to avoid raspberries (and people whose seeds get stuck in their teeth!) Keep recipes away from pets, as many ‘human foods’ in recipes (including fresh dough) are unsafe. Read more on keeping people & pets safe in the kitchen.
