Berries and ice cream

Simple but delicious. Raspberries from the garden, blueberries in season and jelly tip ice cream with a Dutch waffle wafer.

Aside : Raspberries and blueberries in the garden

With all the warm weather we are having, the berries are coming on by leaps and bounds.

Raspberries

The raspberries in the garden are coming into season. There's nothing to beat sweet, freshly picked raspberries - either on their own or with cream or ice-cream.

At least half of them don't even make it to the plate - they are eaten as they are being picked!

This time of year in NZ is berry season - so sometimes we combine them with a "berry salad" of strawberries and blueberries.
