Our neighbor called and asked if we were interested in some fall raspberries. The Rodericks always have great raspberries but the strange weather in the spring meant no berries. So hearing that the fall berries are really nice, I said sure, we want some.
I ended up with four pints. Two pints were dedicated to my breakfast and general snacking. The other two pints went into my new dehydrator. They dried to beautiful berries - you would not know they were dried unless you touch them.
So, now I have these beautiful berries, what do I do them now??? I appreciate any thoughts.
Here are some suggestions that I have received. Thanks
Keith - Put them in oatmeal, pancakes, cookies or bread. The cooking process will re-hydrate them to some degree. If this sounds questionable you could always just give them away, to me.
I will be very interested to hear how you use them. They are beautiful.

They are beautiful. Toss them into a salad with toasted pine nut. Does your store sell a salad dressing called "Brianna's"? If so, get their poppy seed dressing - itis so good and it would be great on nice greens - and I would probably put in feta cheese. Ummm

Keith, I have a bag of dried raspberries in my refrigerator from early summer. They actually don’t recommend drying them! The problem is that they really do turn out seedy, and not very sweet (although maybe the fall raspberries are sweeter…) I think they’re beautiful, though, and I like using them as “croutons” in salads with a sweetish dressing, or to toss them in oatmeal and cold cereal in the morning for a little visual interest.
