Mid-November raspberries. Picked for lunch.
I don't know what variety these are -- I inherited them, and they give a Summer and an Autumn crop each year. They are a bit small, but sweet till Christmas, if no too hard frosts. I've never had this many this late.
It does get quite cold picking them, but nice not to have to compete with bugs and birds for them.
I had planned on heading in the city today for some of the Chinese New Year festivities as there was sure to be lots of red there! A late night, followed by a much needed sleep in meant that we didn't make it, so I decided to bake instead!
When my husband bought home these beautiful red raspberries I just knew they had to be my photo for the day. They were bursting with colour and beautifully shaped and they were the perfect addition to my Summer fruit macaroon slice!
There are several of us working on a 365 project, and if you'd like to follow along, here are links to the others:
Taken on the 4th December 2010. This little Raspberry has withstood snow, well below freezing temperatures, rain and goodness knows what else and it still looks rather wonderful and tasty. One of Nature's heros :-)
This is the Farmer Swire series. For someone born and raised in city centre in Hong Kong, strangely I've always been fond of the countryside and farming. When we bought our house in Toronto, we were pleasantly surprised to discover that the Italian family who used to own the house planted a raspberry bush in one corner of the backyard.
After watching British documentary TV series Tales from the Green Valley, Victorian Farm, Victorian Farm Christmas, Edwardian Farm, Wartime Farm and Tudor Monastery Farm, I became inspired to do better in growing some food in our little backyard.

Another wet, cold, miserable day so I decided on another still life shot. The raspberries were delicious!
Fresh from the garden, (not my garden but my mum's). As she is holiday I am collecting the fruit and preserving it. from garden to Jam-Jar in two hours.
Raspberries contain significant amounts of polyphenol antioxidants such as anthocyanin pigments linked to potential health protection against several human diseases. The aggregate fruit structure contributes to its nutritional value, as it increases the proportion of dietary fibre, placing it among plant foods with the highest fibre contents known, up to 20% fibre per total weight. Raspberries are a rich source of vitamin C, with 30 mg per serving of 1 cup (about 50% daily value), manganese (about 60% daily value) and dietary fibre (30% daily value). Contents of B vitamins 1-3, folic acid, magnesium, copper and iron are considerable in raspberries. Wikipedia
