Raspberries 125g

Raspberries are the most delicate berry in the punnet, and when they are good, nothing touches them. Deep red, fragrant, and intensely flavoured with a tartness that balances beautifully against anything sweet.

Look for raspberries that are deeply coloured, firm and dry with no signs of moisture or collapse in the punnet. Eat them the day you buy them for the best result. Australian raspberries are at their best in summer, when warm days and cool nights produce the deepest flavour.

Eat them fresh, fold them through cream or yoghurt, pile them onto a pavlova, or cook them into a sauce, jam, or coulis. They pair beautifully with chocolate.
