Raspberries grow well in cool, damp climates, and the red varieties, such as Heritage and Malling Jewel, are the most commonly sold, though you can also find black, yellow and golden types.
They are an essential ingredient in the classic English dessert, Summer pudding, and their flavour combines well with that of other berries.
Availability:
Late June to early September. If you've got a garden or allotment, raspberries are quite easy to grow.
Choose the best:
Look for bright, evenly coloured and plump berries, with no mushy or mouldy examples. If you're buying a punnet, check that the underside isn't stained - that means the lower level of berries has been crushed.
Avoid raspberries with their hulls still attached; that indicates that they were picked before they were ripe, so their flavour will be tart.
Prepare it:
As raspberries are very delicate, try not to wash them unless absolutely necessary. Just pick off any bits of stalk or leaf. If they must be washed don't put them directly under the flow of the tap, as they'll disintegrate. Gently pat them dry with kitchen paper.
Store it:
Arrange them on a layer of kitchen paper on a plate, so that they don't crush each other, and store them in the fridge. Take them out of the fridge an hour before eating, so that they're at room temperature. They are best eaten on the same day they were bought or picked.

Sounds yummy, I love anything with lemon. Enjoy your day and new week ahead!
The ingredients and toppings promise a delicious result. And, indeed, it sounds and looks like such.
Thanks for all the handy tips about raspberries. :)
This sounds like a simple refreshing twist on cheesecake. Cheesecake is one of my husband's favorite desserts, and I experimented like crazy to convert my old recipe to something more diabetic-friendly. Thank goodness for Truvia!
Happy Monday! Have a fabulous week.
Debe tener un riquísimo sabor.

This sounds very good. I would omit the raspberries since I'm not a fan of them.
Such a delicious recipe!
We have wild raspberries growing near our home, and indeed some family members think they are the tastiest berries of all.
Have a happy week! xx
