Berries, Berries and more Berries; Small, sweet, juicy and brightly coloured luscious little gems explode with flavour at the beginning of spring. Some of the more common Berry varieties include strawberries, blueberries, mulberries, blackberries & who could forget the Charming Cherry.
I remember scurrying up mulberry trees, equipped with buckets and an eager appetite to seek out the plumpest and juiciest mulberries. Returning home blue toothed with a palette of mulberry bursts stretching from head to toe.
If you are lucky enough to grow your own berries, freshly picked from the tree or straight off the garden vine there’s no finer way to enjoy them.
If fresh are unavailable due to seasonality then frozen varieties are a great substitute in most baking, compotes and sweet sauce recipes.
Their small stature is no smudge on the nutritional benefits they offer. Fresh berries have recently been classified as a ‘super food’ high in antioxidants which help in reducing the risk of some cancers. So enjoy the bounty of berry season!
For a special touch to the family picnic this month try the Chefs Toolbox champagne berry jelly in the FlexibakeTM 1-cups.
The unique FlexibakeTM pans are easy to release after baking and perfect for any occasion
