Raspberries, Oh Raspberries!

My parents' vines were loaded again this year, and the raspberries were sooooo good! We ate a ton, froze quite a bit, made raspberry preserves and raspberry bars (allergen free of course). How nice that we were able to enjoy them fresh and then we will be able to enjoy them later as well!
Did you know per cup raspberries contain just 60 calories? They also are an excellent source of fiber- 8 grams per cup- and provide ~half of your daily need for Vitamin C and a good amount of manganese. So, here's to a cup of raspberries!Aren't they beautiful?
Second to my mom and myself, Caleb picked the most- 5 quarts his first night.
I just love looking at the vines!
Eli enjoyed them too!
