Raspberries grow wild in large parts of Sweden and for many people picking wild raspberries is associated with summer forest walks.
In the book Raspberries, we learn that the berry, which has been eaten by humans for thousands of years, probably only began to be cultivated in the Middle Ages. The Romans used raspberry syrup as a cure for stomach ailments and drinking a tea made from raspberry leaves to help with diarrhea or sore throat is an old home remedy that is still used today. Raspberries are easy to grow and thrive in most soils. In step with an increased interest in what is locally produced and useful, the number of raspberry farms has increased; both with the lovely, first summer raspberries, but also with the more exclusive autumn raspberries. The red raspberry is the most common, but there are also yellow ones. By crossing raspberries with blackberries, new exciting varieties have also seen the light of day. In addition to the exciting history and growing advice, the book also contains classic recipes such as peach melba and queen jam, but also a colorful raspberry liqueur, raspberry curd for afternoon tea and much else that tastes of summer.
