This recipe is a longtime family favorite that started with my husbands mom. She made it for him and his brothers as children and so when we had kids, she made it for them. My mother-in-law had the biggest raspberry patch I had ever seen for a house in the city. It took up half of her back yard, no kidding here. My kids grew up always wanting to go to Granny’s house to pick fresh raspberries in the summer. Lucky for us she only lived 5 minutes away. The kids would obviously eat as many berries as they put in their bowls, but isn’t that what berry picking is about? The memories made and the tummy’s filled while picking. Their Granny is sadly no longer with us, but over the years I began to make her Raspberry Delight recipe, to the delight of my family. So here it is…please enjoy. We sure do and always remember Granny when we do.
Recipes that bring us back to our childhood are so special and I am thankful that my kids and my husband grew up with this one. It’s not difficult but it sure is tasty and fresh raspberries make it so tasty. Sweet yet every now and then you get a tart bite of fresh raspberry. It’s a light dessert so it’s perfect after a summertime barbeque. It’s a great dessert to bring to a potluck as well, although I can pretty much guarantee you’ll run out. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Whether it’s a summer picnic, a family gathering, or a cozy evening at home, these squares are sure to bring smiles to the faces of all who enjoy them. If you want to watch a video of the entire process then go to my instagram page @mumgrubofficial and look for it.
