Our All-Time Favorite Raspberry Recipes
When we’re not tossing them back like popcorn, we’re turning them into cookies, pies, ice cream, and more.
This is just to say, we have eaten the raspberries that were in the fridge and which you were probably saving for a recipe. Forgive us, they were delicious, so sweet and so cold. Plums are great and all, but it always surprised us that William Carlos Williams didn’t write his famous 12-verse poem about summer raspberries.
Raspberries add perfume and color to a wide range of desserts and cocktails. Throw a handful of them into peach pie, and suddenly you have an eye-popping masterpiece with red-orange swirls like a Caribbean sunset. Plop a frozen raspberry into a homemade cocktail at your next party, and watch as guests gasp with delight.
Like the best things in life, raspberries are ephemeral—and expensive. So make good on your investment by buying firm, brightly colored berries with no signs of mold or discoloration, then use them within three days. The berries will keep a day or two longer if stored in a paper-towel-lined airtight container.
Few desserts are as simply sublime as raspberries dolloped with thick whipped cream, but when you’re ready to expand your horizons, these fan-favorite recipes from our archives are a wonderful place to start.
