It's berry time. Late strawberries are still to be found, early blueberries are starting up, and raspberries are in full swing. It is like the trifecta of berries. I really only like super fresh fruit, and berries best of all, so I am very happy. Above, the blueberries and strawberries are from the Brattleboro Farmer's market. The raspberries are from Grandma's garden, we have been getting them fresh-picked all week and they're AMAZING!

Here's what I do with berries:

• garnish cereal, ice cream, yogurt
• eat them plain by the handful
• dole them out in small containers as healthy snacks
• accept them doled out in small containers by others
• have them with shortcake and whipped cream (strawberries in particular)
• arrange them on waffles, mini cheesecakes or other baked desserts
  

Here's what I don't do with berries:

• cook them
• mash them
• freeze them
• make syrup

These are all perfectly acceptable, but berries don't last long enough around me for them to be accomplished.

More good news: peaches are also showing up at the farmer's market, as well as Sungold tomatoes. Oh yum!
