Announcing AFAM- Raspberry
I have always been fascinated by berries. Their color , names everything is fascinating. Like there is no straw in strawberry and though black berries and raspberries look the same ( except for the color) , why dont we call black berries , black raspberries ?? Oops, I forgot , there are black raspberries! Then there are the exotic ones from Brazil , Acai and Gooji , here the name itself is exotic.
Though I’m not much worried about the nutritional side of them, but yes the berries do have great anti oxidant properties. Normally, I make a smoothie, cut and mix ‘em in my cereal, cook them or just use them in a fondue. However, the most I have gone is to use raspberries in a tiramisu. The recipe was from Meeta’s Blog.
With berries running in my mind, I decided to host this fruit party with recipes made of raspberries!! All of you are invited!! Come Join the party and make this an event to remember!!!
A Fruit A Month is a monthly event started by Maheshwari of Beyond the Usual. Thank you Maheshwari for giving me the opportunity to host this wonderful event. Last month’s host was Margot of Coffee and Vanilla

After continuously participating in AFAM and finally hosting it in March, I have continuously missed 2 AFAM events. Not because of time or anything else, kumquats and raspberries are simply not available in India. I’ll have to pass this one. Good luck

Srivalli and Raaga - You do get dried raspberries in India - they are available in most “exotic” grocery stores (like Nuts & Spices) or “foreign” grocery stores (like Amma Naana).
