Berries are important both as a food source, and we revere them in literature and history, but we take them for granted. Raspberries are red because Zeus' nursemaid Ida, pricked her finger on the thorns, Mark Twain immortalized huckleberries in his novel of 1884 and Robert Frost and Sylvia Plath, amongst many other poets, wrote on the joys of berry picking.
In the kitchen berries are all round performers, enhancing sweet and savory dishes. They can be preserved as jams, jellies, curds or chutneys and bottled in sugar or alcohol. Cakes, biscuits, and puddings are all better for the addition of a few berries and some, such as Eton Mess, fools and clafoutis raise the berries to stars themselves. This book will help you grow all kinds of berries. Most importantly, the book contains recipes, over fifty ways to use berries in your kitchen, from Cranberry Roast Ham to Raspberry Brownies and Blueberry Pancakes to Mulberry Gin.
