Today: berries

When am I ready for winter? When my freezer is filled with berries!

Where do I get berries from? In 6 years, I’ve never stopped going blackberry picking. I used to go raspberry and blueberry picking, too, but I have bought them from friends lately.    

Why do I love them? They’re such a joy! They’re one of my greatest summer joys, alongside water, corn, and melons. I often eat them as they are, when they are picked!

How do I use them? Better yet, how don’t I? From smoothies to gelatos, then cakes, birthday cakes, and more elaborate desserts, it seems that berries bring along a certain freshness! My favourite berry dessert? Pavlova!
