raspberries & bread recipe (hi donna)

[Guest guest]

yum, I think putting them in banana bread is a great idea! I

thought last night about all the things I use them in during the

summer, like raspberry lemonade and this totally easy desert treat

that is always a hit (though I don't know if you can use the

condensed milk, or the whipped cream).

 

Raspberry cream pie

 

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

2/3 cup frozen raspberry lemonade concentrate, thawed.

Mix these together in a large bowl & fold in:

3 1/2 cups whipped cream

 

Spread 1/2 cup raspberries in the bottom of a graham cracker pie

crust & spoon filling over the top. Chill or freeze for 6 hours.

Decorate the top with more raspberries before serving.

 

 

Seasonal berry-orange bread (from cookbook by Dimetra Markis)

350 oven - 9X5X3 loaf pan

 

2 1/2 cups unbleached flour, sifted

1 Tbs baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup fresh berries (blue, black or raspberries) washed, drained and

tossed in 1/4 cup flour

3 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 1/2 Tbs grated orange rind

1/3 cup orange juice (fresh is best)

 

optional topping

1/4 cup orange juice

3 Tbs sugar

 

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt -

add berries and stir gently to mix well. In a separate bowl, beat

eggs. Add milk, melted butter, orange rind & orange juice. Pour

liquid into the dry ingredients and stir till flour is moist..don't

overmix. Spoon into loaf pan and bake an hour - or until pick comes

out clean. Stir together topping ingredients & spoon topping over

it when you take it out of the oven...let bread cool 10 minutes in

pan on wire rack, then remove from pan and cool thoroughly.

 

The smell of this is amazing! I have used black and blue

berries...am thinking substituting lemon juice and rind might be

interesting with raspberries?!
