Our favourite raspberry recipes
Looking for raspberry recipe inspiration? From meringue and cheesecakes, to jams, jellies, sponges and raspberry cocktails, look no further for brilliant recipe ideas.
Raspberries are in season from June through til spring depending on the variety. If you are lucky enough to have a glut, then the go-to raspberry recipe must be a homemade raspberry jam. You can then use it in a show stopping Victoria sponge cake recipe as well as well as saving some for a slice of toast.
Raspberries are the perfect fruit to use in summer desserts pairing well with chocolate - just like our recipe for chocolate and raspberry torte or scattered over brownies batter before baking - like these low fat chocolate and raspberry brownies.
As an alternative to a strawberry pavlova, we love using raspberries in this wonderfully seasonal rose flavoured meringue stack. Topped with pretty rose petals, it makes the perfect dessert for summer entertaining.

Raspberry and Pistachio Tart
