When you bring these raspberries home, handle them gently to avoid bruising. You can rinse them lightly under cool water just before using them. They are excellent eaten straight from the container as a healthy snack. For baking, they can be folded into batters for muffins or cakes, or layered into tarts. They also make a beautiful addition to fruit salads, adding a pop of color and a refreshing taste. Consider mashing them slightly to create a quick coulis to serve over ice cream or pancakes.

How to keep the rest
To keep any remaining raspberries fresh, store them unwashed in their original container or a breathable carton in the refrigerator. Avoid sealing them in plastic, as this can trap moisture and lead to spoilage. Check them periodically and remove any that show signs of mold.
