Wild Raspberry season in Red Hook NY

It is Wild Raspberry season in Red Hook NY. The first time I saw these berries I would not touch them, I didn't know what they were, so as far as I was concerned they were poisonous. My young son on the other hand was always picking berries and I was terrified he would be poisoned, so I kept the poison control number close by.

One person told me if the birds eat the berries then it was okay for human, seem there was some truth to that statement.

I was happy to finally learn that these berries were wild raspberries and could be eaten.

So what do I do now when it is Wild Raspberry season in Red Hook NY? I walk the perimeter of my property collecting these berries which are really very good.

Here are some of the ways I used these berries:

• I use the berries in pancakes

• I make wild raspberry pie

• Use the berries in smoothies

• Or just eat them as I pick them

So enjoy the Wild Raspberry season in Red Hook NY.
