Rah-Rah for Golden Raspberries

Golden raspberries are the perfect fruit to segue us into fall…don’t you think?

The days are tinkering on being warm and crisp at the same time. And if you are a raspberry fan it is the perfect period to start thinking about the golden glow of autumn with yellow raspberries by your side.

Although the yellow spiked berry tastes similar to the red raspberries we know and love, some say that they have a mild sweet taste with have hints of honey or apricot. The “champagne” berries get their golden hue due to the natural absence of red pigment. I tend to agree with the touch of sweetness they have in their hybrid form and basically gobbled my entire carton in one sitting. I felt like the eye-catching berry tasted like a blend of banana and raspberry that I couldn’t get enough of.

The rich amber berries are an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, calcium and iron. One cup of the seasonal berry has 60 calories and is completely cholesterol and sodium-free. Available until the end of summer and beginning of fall, golden raspberries are a sweet, refreshing treat to be treasured.

Yellow raspberries provide an aesthetic appeal that is purely fall-licious and are highly prized by savvy chefs around the world. But beyond the visual splendor, the lightly acidic sweet-tart taste adds a wonderful touch of flavor to starchy ingredients, salads, desserts and savory dishes. Here are some beyond the garnish dishes to nosh on:

• Freeze them to snack on later! Place a single layer of golden raspberries on a cookie sheet and store the frozen berries in a plastic bag or covered container.
• Enjoy this luscious golden raspberry and pear jam! Serve it on toast, crackers or on top of a piece of brie. The golden jelly is a great condiment on turkey sandwiches or in your plain yogurt.
• Get fancy with a red and golden raspberry white chocolate napoleon. Even the name of this sweet treat rolls of my tongue.
• Blend the beauties in this apricot and golden raspberry smoothie for a quick and tasty breakfast or post-workout treat.
• Toss whole berries in mixed greens like this golden raspberry salad with pancetta and bleu cheese.
• Super inspired by this interesting crumble of yellow raspberries with rosemary crisp topping.
