Nowadays raspberry is not that rare thing anymore. All year-round available on the shelves of shops, it has no more of its former alluring unavailability. Mankind learnt how to synthesize its sweet delicious aroma and produce dozens of its different shades. But… But for me raspberry means the fingers pricked to blood, greedily tearing juicy berries from the bushes. They fall gently into my palm smothered with the juice and delicately shining cobweb.
And I never wash my raspberries. I do not understand – why? They are perfect! Its fluffy scarlet pimples are simply flawless.
And desserts with raspberry sauce are always amazingly delicious. Looks like, it’s impossible to spoil them. Raspberry tastes great in any combinations, temperatures and servings.
