B.C. berries are in! And while shoveling handfuls of these sweet, juicy fruits into your mouth is perfectly acceptable at this time of year, we've put together four palate-pleasing ways to enjoy berry season. 

As strawberries ripen not only does their sugar content rise, but their acidity level decreases, making ripe strawberries taste even sweeter. Balance out those flavours with herbaceous fresh basil! Add strawberries and basil to sparkling water or pour a fruity cocktail for sippin' on the patio. 

Blueberries have a delightful fruity peach aroma, and the sweet tang of a balsamic reduction is the perfect match. We've created a honey whipped ricotta and balsamic B.C. blueberry crostini for an easy and delicious snack. Make it yourself with our recipe here. 

The subtle sweetness of raspberries + the delightful nuttiness of almonds = a match made in heaven. Enjoy these bright berries for breakfast by spreading some almond butter on toast, sprinkling it with shredded coconut and adding them on top.

Other fruits might not be the first thing when you think of when it comes to pairings, but lemon and blackberry is a truly iconic duo. Since blackberries are already on the more tart side of the berry spectrum, this zesty lemon curd is just what these berries need to bring them to life. Layer your favourite Greek yogurt with granola, blackberries and a generous spoonful of lemon curd for a flavourful breakfast, snack or dessert.
