Headed out to the local raspberry U-Pick this morning :)



Raspberry season just opened up here in the Maritimes so we headed out to fill our bowls! About 30 minutes of work got us a pretty decent load of berries!



Maybe we should of had a few more kids....all those little hands sure make for light work ;)



We froze some berries for winter and also got busy making some jam!


                            Freezer jam is so simple to make and only takes about 10 minutes!

Tomorrow morning we will be making a batch of raspberry waffles to freeze....and eat of course :)


                                                     Basic waffle with raspberries recipe

                                                       2 cups all purpose flour
                                                       3 tsp baking powder
                                                       3/4 tsp salt
                                                       2 Tbsp sugar
                                                       3 eggs separated
                                                       1 3/4 cup milk
                                                       1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
                                                       Handful of delicious raspberries

                                          Mix dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. 
                                        Beat egg yolks until frothy then stir in milk and oil. 
                                               Pour into dry mix and beat until smooth.
                                   Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form, then fold into batter. 
                                                          Gently add berries.
                                 Pour onto hot waffle iron and bake until golden brown. 
                                         Serve with butter and maple syrup, jam or honey. 

This recipe freezes really well so feel free to double or triple the recipe and freeze them for a quick, healthy breakfast by just popping them into the toaster in the morning.
