Answer 1

Raspberry Summer Pudding



"For best results, you will need to make this devine dessert the day before you plan to serve it."





INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 tablespoon water

3 cups fresh raspberries

6 slices white bread

1 cup whipped cream





Method

1) In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, water, and raspberries. Cook, stirring carefully so as not to damage the berries, until the mixture is hot, and the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.



2) Line a 1 quart bowl with 5 slices of bread. Pour the raspberry mixture over the bread, and place the last slice of bread on top. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap. Place a weight on top of the bowl (canned goods work well), and refrigerate overnight.



3) The next day, remove plastic wrap, and invert onto a plate. Serve chilled, with whipped cream on the side.

I also made some delicious cookies with raspberries the other day. I will be posting that recipe to my site in a few days. They had white chocolate, rasberries and almonds! Yum!

Answer 4

i would suggest eating them with vanilla ice cream, or making a lemon or vanilla cake and serve them on the side. if you have a lot of time and you like to cook, you could make a raspberry fruit tart. i am sure many dessert cook books have perfectly good recipies for that. if you like yogurt, i would mix them into vanilla yogurt with maybe some granola as well. you could also eat them plain or give them to friends/family. if you don't want to do any of that, you could make fruit smoothies with them using, raspberries, strawberries, bananas, etc.

Answer 5

Raspberries go really well with white chocolate so you could make a raspberry and white chocolate mousse or cheesecake.

Answer 7

I've just pick a few jug fulls as well.



If you want to freeze them, place them on a flat baking tray with some paper on it first so none are touching another, stick it in the freezer and wait for them to freeze individually. When frozen, put them in some other type of container. This way, when you want to use them (in February) they are seperate and not al mushed up.

Answer 8
