July through September is the time of year when we should be savoring fresh raspberries. They grow wild all over different parts of the country. This past weekend, while driving through the Berkshires in western Massachusetts, I stopped at various farms to taste the raspberries. Each berry was bursting with tartness and sweetness.

This summer, I encourage you to revel in the raspberry season. Below are 8 ways you can incorporate raspberries into your diet:

Add raspberries to your cereal.
Puree raspberries with olive oil and drizzle over salads or grilled vegetables.
Make raspberry waffles.
Cool off this summer with raspberry frozen yogurt cake with raspberry amaretto sauce.
For dinner, why not cook up hazelnut-crusted chicken with raspberry sauce.
For dessert, try raspberry almond lattice tart.
A raspberry champagne cocktail is the perfect drink for a weekend brunch.
When entertaining, make red cabbage with raspberries, onions and apples.

How have you added raspberries to your meals lately?

Summer of '06, we spent several weeks on Orcas Island in the San Juans. Not only a beautiful island, unspoiled and undeveloped and reminiscent of the Berkshires 50 years ago, it is also heavily endowed with black raspberries, wherever you look. Throughout our stay we helped ourselves to endless handfuls of richly sweet berries. For those who have never had the opportunity to take the ferry out to these magnificent islands, I highly recommend it. For those of you who know the area, I apologize for spreading the word.
