When using fresh raspberries, it is best to handle them gently to avoid bruising. They can be eaten directly from the container as a snack or incorporated into various culinary creations. For baking, they can be folded into batters or used as a filling. In beverages, they add a burst of flavor and color. They are also excellent when simmered into a simple syrup or compote to serve over pancakes or ice cream. Their natural juices release easily when heated.
