Fresh Berries

Our raspberries are starting to ripen. We have lots of bushes scattered around our property. Some are still young and some are hidden in some over grown grass (yes, we will try to find the time to plan better next year). Several wonderfully producing bushes sit right on top of a biting ant hill so we are leaving those for the birds. Right now we are picking just enough ripe berries every day for a snack. Or perhaps I could make muffins with them. This batch is going to be served for breakfast tomorrow along side yogurt and homemade granola. Hopefully as the bushes get bigger we'll end up with more fruit. But I have a feeling it will be a while before I'll have enough from our own bushes for a batch of jam. Of course, the kids don't mind. I think they'd prefer being allowed to just eat them straight off the bushes.
