It's a Raspberry Morning!

Just imagine waking up to fresh, delicious 

Red Raspberries 

for the next several weeks! 

(Go ahead and pop it into your mouth!)

Let the harvest begin!

Our raspberries are everbearing...

which means they begin bearing fruit 
in my gardens 
around Labor Day...

and will continue setting fruit until the frost comes.

And that means yummy sweet raspberries each morning!


DELICIOUS! 


We actually pick all the ripe berries every other morning.
We gather enough berries from our small plot
for several batches of freezer jam. 

In two days there will be enough ripe berries 
for several more batches of jam.

This pattern goes on for several weeks until the frost kills the vines.

After the frost, 
we cut our vines down to the ground
and then we wait for Spring to come 
when the vines will grow again to make more delicious jam.

Best Raspberry Freezer Jam: 

Simply follow the directions on the package!

4 cups of fruit and 1 and 1/2 cups sugar
will make 5 (8oz) half pints.

FAST, EASY, and so YUMMY!

A few more interesting Raspberry facts:

Did you know the raspberry (Rubus) is an herbaceous plant that belongs to the Rose family? 

There are two distinct types of raspberries: floricane fruiting (summer bearing) and primocane fruiting (everbearing).
