Right now is the time to indulge in summer’s abundant, sweet, juices-running-down-your-chin berries. Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are coming into their peak season, and I grab them the second they appear at my farmers market. These delicacies represent summer in all of its glory.
Berries tend to spoil relatively quickly—two or three days for raspberries and a couple of days beyond that for strawberries. Blueberries seem to have a longer fridge life, but only by a day or so. They are begging to be eaten immediately—or canned and preserved, to continue that blissful summer feeling for as long as possible.
