Suzy and Joel and Owen and Evie

This year Joel got really serious about gathering wild raspberries. In years past he’d bike past a raspberry patch and fill up a water bottle, but this year he drove to the patches—mainly found by the side of the road on reservoir land—and filled up cake pans. He probably picked over 10 pounds of these amazingly tiny, fragile berries. We stayed up late several nights making jam, raspberry ice cream, two batches of chocolate raspberry ice cream, chocolate raspberry tart, and then tossed them into cereal, too. The season is short but these berries are so much better than anything you’d buy in a store.
