Raspberries: when it's in season and what to cook

Raspberries are usually at their best from June to September across much of the US.

How to pick it

Choose dry, plump berries with no mold; tip the box to see the ones underneath.

How to keep it

They are fragile: refrigerate unwashed and use within a day or two, or freeze on a tray.

Months are when each item is usually at its best across much of the US. Seasons start earlier in warm places and later in cool ones, and they shift from year to year, so your local farm stand or market is the best guide.
