Raspberry recipes

Plump, fresh raspberries are a true highlight of the British summer. Make the most of their all-too-brief season with these delicious raspberry recipes.

Raspberry season comes in two waves. The first, summer-fruiting raspberries, are usually ready to pick in June and July. Later varieties are at their best from mid-August to September. Raspberries are widely available at pick-your-own farms across the UK. Once you’ve picked a punnet or two, have a go at some of the raspberry recipes below.

Raspberries are the perfect mix of sweet and tart –  making them the perfect partner for cream, meringue, chocolate, custard and other rich dessert staples. Try heavenly berry desserts like raspberry meringue pie, raspberry cheesecake ice cream and boozy raspberry mess. Get baking with recipes for cream buns crammed with pink berry cream, dainty rhubarb and custard cakes or Alison Roman’s cult raspberry-ricotta cake.
