Berries are in peak season right now, and if you can’t get enough of them, then I have 18 recipes that you are going to LOVE. We’ve got strawberry recipes, blueberry recipes, blackberry recipes, mixed berry recipes… a little something for everyone. Whether you prefer pies, bars, ice cream, or trifles, I promise you’ll find something to love. Summer baking is here!
A couple of weeks ago, a woman loading up her groceries behind me in the checkout line at the grocery store exclaimed that the strawberries I had on the belt looked fabulous. She then surveyed my haul that included a huge strawberry container and large quantities of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, and exclaimed, “you must be making a fabulous fruit salad for a party!”
Not quite.
I explained that this fruit will get us through most of the week, and the majority of it will be eaten by just my kids.
They love fruit. Love, love, LOVE it. The more berries, the better, as far as they’re concerned. My husband and I adore berries as well, so there’s an entire shelf of our refrigerator that is at all times stocked with a fresh variety!
If you share our love of berries, you are going to love today’s roundup. So many fabulous recipe ideas for using up all of those wonderfully fresh blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. Enjoy!
