I have another one (different jar) I am going to put a b/o candle & some colorful glass gems. Just trying to decide where I am going to put it so I know what color glass gems I am going to use.

@ChiliPepper I think the addition of colored glass beads will certainly complement it! You are giving me some creative ideas, so THANK you!!!!😁

NATIONAL RASPBERRIES N’ CREAM DAY

Enjoy fresh berries in cream on August 7 because it's National Raspberries N' Cream Day. With the raspberry season in full swing, what better way to celebrate than with this simple and delicious treat.

 

There are several days on the calendar celebrating raspberries. We just finished National Raspberry Cake Day st week. You will find three delicious recipes on that page alone to enjoy.

At one time, raspberries were a midsummer crop. However, new technology, cultivars, and transportation make it possible to enjoy these sweet berries all year long. Because of these new technologies, raspberry growers now have an extended selling season.

Did You Know?

• There are more than 200 species of raspberries.
• Scotland grows an abundance of raspberries. Raspberries love their fertile, well-drained soils.
• However, Russia produces the most raspberries in the world at 120,000 tons per year.
• Besides red, raspberries also come in purple, gold and black colors.
• Unlike other fruits, raspberries don't ripen off the shrub. If picked green, the raspberry will not sweeten or soften.

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL RASPBERRIES N' CREAM DAY

While enjoying raspberries at the height of their season, explore recipes. There are so many ways to enjoy raspberries. Preserving them in jams and jellies is just one way.

Another delicious treat this time of year is ice cream. Baked goods are always a family favorite, too.

However, eating berries fresh off the shrub is one of the greatest pleasures around! Visit a pick-your-own farm and experience warm, juicy berries popping in your mouth on a summer day.

Raspberry Fool

(Raspberries and Cream)

Raspberry Fool is a quick and easy raspberry dessert recipe. It’s essentially raspberries and cream that’s been swirled together to make an elegant treat!

Prep Time: 15 minutes 

Total Time: 15 minutes 

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Driscoll's raspberries 12 ounce package
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 cups whipping cream
• ¼ cup confectioners sugar powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract*

Instructions:

• Puree 1 ½ cups of the Driscoll's raspberries in a food processor or blender with the 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
• In a large bowl, add the cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric hand mixer or whisk by hand until stiff peaks form.
• With a rubber spatula, gently fold in ¾ of the pureed raspberries into the whipped cream mixture, leaving visible swirls. Gently fold in the rest of the puree but be careful not to overmix. Spoon the fool into 4-6 glass cups or small bowls. Top with additional raspberries and serve.

Notes:

*I added vanilla to this batch of cream, but I thought about giving almond extract, a tablespoon of brandy, or even orange-flavored liquer a try.
