Blackberry, Raspberry & Thyme Jam
Seeing all of the fresh berries in season got me so excited to make a fresh berry jam. I like my jam more spreadable and with less sugar than most, because the berries are already so sweet and flavourful. This is so easy to make and is great to spread on toast, add on top of a scone, or spoon in between cake layers.
Raspberry Chewy Mochi Donuts
Crispy and golden on the outside, and chewy on the inside. If you have never tried mochi donuts before, you are in for a treat. They are made with rice flour, which gives them their chewy texture, and this also means that they are gluten-free. You can dip them in whatever flavour glaze you like, but I chose a raspberry glaze for these.
Mixed Berry Crisp
Whenever I see a special on berries, you know I’m buying them and likely getting way more than you can easily eat before they go funky. I end up making a berry crisp often to use up the berries that are past their prime firmness, but still perfectly tasty.
This is such an easy way to use up berries, and it can be made with frozen berries too. It comes out so bright, sweet, and chewy- a perfect dessert for spring or summer!
Olive Oil Cake Topped With Mascarpone and Berries
There’s something about baking with olive oil. It leaves the cake with a rich, moist crumb and a touch of bitterness. This olive oil taste goes so perfectly with the sweet berries and mascarpone cream. If you have never tried an olive oil cake before, I would highly suggest trying this one.
