Plus it always tastes sooo much better than the CRAP you buy at the supermarket Plus it costs less Plus you actually know what it is in it .... which is normally only 2 or 3 REAL ingredients rather than a long list of unpronounceable chemicals *bleeeech* We grow quite a bit of stuff in our small garden and I use all of that whever I can , but we don't grow raspberries. However Farmers Markets are in full swing around here - and right now berries are cheap and getting cheaper by the week.
