Raspberries!
#1
As you can see, I love raspberries and chocolate from my new picture... I am soooo hungry for fresh raspberries. Looks like they are done in my area.... While they were here, I was eating them for lunch.......... so much better then the ones in the store... Except for the ones in Flemington NJ at the fudge shop, dipped in chocolate!!! But I found that the pineapple dipped in chocolate are sinful............ oy veyyyyyy

I buy them well into the fall at our local farmers' market.
They must be available in your area, too? I did go (they grow all over in the area of the UP I'm in for the summer) and made wild raspberry jam-also made my DH some fresh homemade bread to eat it on. He thinks I walk on water!!!

I never liked fresh raspberries, though I loved raspberry layers in chocolate tortes and raspberry jellies in chocolate candy. Every time I tried the fresh ones from the store, they were sour.
Then I stayed at a hotel (in Atlanta) and got upgraded to "concierge level," which came with a late afternoon/early evening honor bar. The food was free. (Only the alcoholic drinks cost anything.) Well, they had the best spreads, including the most perfect fresh fruits. I tried some of their raspberries, and they were incredibly good! Large, juicy, and so, so sweet!
Nothing like the little sour pellets for $4 for a measly pint from the store. Now whenever I find them in good condition, I get them and feast. Not so easy to find the good ones, though. (I've learned to get the frozen ones. They're wonderful in mango-raspberry smoothies.)
Oh, I could go for some right now!
