I have wild raspberries growing all over my yard. I have had to cut them back to prevent them from literally taking over the yard. I wouldn’t be able to open my door if I didn’t cut them back.
But they are literally little nuclear flavor bombs in your mouth. Commercial raspberries are large and totally lacking in flavor and are tasteless in comparison.
The biggest problem with wild raspberries is it takes soooo many of them to make a quart of raspberry syrup or even to freeze a pint’s worth. But damn, they taste so good when you just stand there and pick and eat them with the fresh dew on them.
One of my favorite memories is standing on the hillside in my yard with a cup of hot tea and eating wild raspberries together with a deer for maybe 20 minutes one morning. The both of us just being together and enjoying the early sun and dining on nature’s finest.
