Chef’s Secret

To preserve their delicate shape and flavor in baked goods, toss fresh raspberries lightly in flour before adding to batter.

Substitutions

Best Match

Blackberries

1:1

Similar texture and tart-sweet balance, but blackberries are slightly larger and often less tart.

Strawberries

1:1 (chopped)

Good for sweetness and color, but different texture and less tartness.

Frozen Raspberries

1:1

Excellent for baking, smoothies, or sauces, but will lose firmness when thawed.

Redcurrants

1:1

More tart and smaller, good for adding acidity and a pop of color, especially in preserves.
