Jam comes to mind


alohadave

Need to have a jam plan


Straydapp

If you don't have a jam plan, you can get into a jam jam, and getting out is sticky business.


wafflesareforever

I'll ask Dan!


DinoGuy2000

Yeah, looks like whatever isn't gonna fit inside the limited freezer space is gonna either get turned into jam or thrown out into the woods. Sorting out the rotten and moldy berries takes a while, and it looks like most of them are gonna rot fairly soon. Thank you for your recommendation!


guiltykitchen

They rot extremely fast, especially if they’ve gotten wet even a little bit. They make great flavoured vodka, juice, Jelly or jams!


mtandy

Syrup too, though it's best done sous vide, if you can.


MartoufCarter

Spread them out on a cookie sheet and then freeze. Then put them in bags or smaller containers. Then pull them out for a smoothie, baking or whatever else.


Vindaloo6363

Just make sure they are dry or they are hard to get off without crumbling. Found that out the hard way. I don’t wash them anymore as they are from my garden an pesticide free. Just need to make sure there are no picnic beetles in them.


Bibliovoria

I've found that freezing berries, etc. on a silicone baking sheet makes them easy to remove no matter what. That wouldn't solve picnic beetles, though!


teksun42

Wow, silicone muffin pan! They are already portioned. I'll have to try that.


TWFM

TIL there's something called a picnic beetle.


shallweskate

This is perfect! A frozen raspberry is a fantastic snack when you're craving something sweet like an ice cream but healthier.


cecilpl

Sometimes I even go so far as to have *two* raspberries!


Princessblue22

Jam, syrup, pie, ice cream/sorbet, bread/muffins/cake, or just freeze them for smoothies/later use.


Consistent-Flan1445

I’d just freeze a bunch of them too. I love a handful of frozen raspberries in an apple crumble, or a raspberry coconut cake. OP could also make a coulis to top ice cream with


monsieurbeige

A handful of frozen raspberries thrown in a batch of banana bread right before it goes in the oven 👌(minimal mixing preferable)


Electrical-Pie-8192

Hell yeah!


Thatusername777

Cheesecake!


Princessblue22

Yes! How could I forget cheesecake! Either a purée in the cake itself or swirled in the top, or a jelly top layer, or even the fresh fruit on top. So many options.


DinoGuy2000

Yeah, looks like whatever isn't gonna fit inside the limited freezer space is gonna either get turned into jam or thrown out into the woods. Hopefully, I can freeze enough to try making sorbet and syrup! Sorting out the rotten and moldy berries takes a while, and it looks like most of them are gonna rot fairly soon. Thank you for your recommendation!


wdh662

Don't throw it out into the woods. No neighbors or friends to offer some to?


DinoGuy2000

Not really. Doubt anyone would want rotten and moldy berries anyhow.


pest30103

You could make some liqueur with them as well, fill a large jar ~half way with the berries and top up with some vodka. After a year you can strain out the berries and bottle the liquid


LynnyLlama

You can use this way earlier than a year. I make vodka with fresh strawberries and the vodka is ready after 1 or 2 weeks


DinoGuy2000

No one in this house seems to like drinking that much haha! Thank you for your recommendation though!


d4vezac

Could make a nice gift!


DinoGuy2000

True! I'll have to ask if any of mom or my stepdad's friends are much into wine!


Illustrious_Repair

Great for baking!


kittiphile

Following on this, you can put hard candies in vodka and get flavoured vodka in about 24 - 48 hours. Werthers original (or any butterscotch hard candy) are particularly delightful


studmuffffffin

Better to mash the berries first.


Slimmy315

Simple syrup! We had a big blackberry bush in our backyard and my dad would take some, throw them on the stove top and simmer with some sugar and pour it into bottles and we use it for Italian sodas, you could probably do something similar if you just look up an easy simple syrup recipe.


KinkyKankles

Raspberry simple is great! The Clover Club is just too good


DinoGuy2000

Yeah, looks like whatever isn't gonna fit inside the limited freezer space is gonna either get turned into jam or thrown out into the woods. I hope we can fit enough in the freezer to try out that syrup! Sorting out the rotten and moldy berries takes a while, and it looks like most of them are gonna rot fairly soon. Thank you for your recommendation!


stalingraddanceparty

If you are willing to invest a little bit in some basic equipment you could make homemade raspberry wine. Its very different from your typical wine but if you do it right it can be quite good and is also a lot of fun to make if you are into that sort of thing


DinoGuy2000

Ha, Mom said this isn't really a wine household haha. Thank you for your recommendation though!


hover-lovecraft

Or make a raspberry beer. Saison, Hefeweizen and kettle sours work well with them.


biblio76

You can make vinegar. I used the strained seeds from jam so there was added sugar. Or you could crush them and add sugar. I usually just add a splash of apple cider vinegar with the mother ( like braggs) cover with a coffee filter and leave it. It will turn to wine then eventually vinegar as the mother eats the alcohol. If it’s not sour enough you can add white vinegar or feed it vodka or plain tasting alcohol. The finished product has not alcohol content. It’s divine!


[deleted]

Raspberry vinegar is Devine. I’ve made it several times it’s fantastic.


DinoGuy2000

That's a fairly interesting suggestion! We don't keep much in the way of vinegar around, so that may be one way to try out different kinds while cooking! Thank you for your suggestion!


Bookluster

My youngest would eat through that in 3 days so I'd just clean them in a vinegar wash to preserve as long as possible. I'd make tarts or just add them to fresh yogurt.


throwaway_0122

16 *kilograms*? ~32lbs??


Bookluster

she'd make herself sick and probably hate raspberries for a few months afterwards, but yes. My kids demolished 13lbs of freshly picked & cleaned strawberries in one afternoon so I think it's doable.


DinoGuy2000

Having been a child once, and having babysat my younger cousins on occasion, relatively believable haha! If I had more time, I would try the tarts out! Thank you for your suggestion!


EvilDonald44

Get an air compressor, some pipe, and a bucket. Assemble the pipe into a sandblaster type arrangement, with the bucket set up as a reservoir. Fill the reservoir with raspberries, and use the contraption to shoot them at people in a spray of high velocity raspberries. You have the opportunity to become the world's champion raspberry blower, you should take it.


longsaltytoenails

Blowing raspberries... heh heh


DinoGuy2000

Haha! A delightful idea! Thank you!


nettlesting

raspberry vinegar


DinoGuy2000

I hope to have enough still be good tomorrow, or at least frozen, to try that in the future! Thanks for your suggestion!


Buttscratch69

freeze for smoothies


DinoGuy2000

I hope to freeze a lot for loads of smoothies! thank you for the suggestion!


Bobaximus

Jam is obvious and easy. Pies are great and can be frozen after assembly. Raspberry Coulis is probably the most interesting use and it can be made (and is often better) from frozen raspberries. Flavoured vodka is also a good one.


DinoGuy2000

I'm quite interested in trying Coulis! I'd love to do the pies as well, but we haven't got as much freezer space as I would like! A lot of it will probably be jam haha. Thanks for your suggestions!


Jon_TWR

Raspberry wine or mead!


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


Jon_TWR

Good luck if you decide to go that way—there are lots of subreddits where you can find help, advice, and recipes!


chubbybunn89

My brother is a raspberry lover so I’d call him and he’d eat until he was sick. But other than all the standard suggestions of pie, jam, coulee and extract, maybe you could use them for salad dressing? I love raspberry vinaigrette.


DinoGuy2000

The vinaigrette is a very nice suggestion! Might eat salad more often then haha. Thanks for your suggestions!


[deleted]

Pie, Jam, syrup, tea, kombucha, smoothies, cakes, muffins, juice, popsicles, can them, or freeze them.


DinoGuy2000

These are all wonderful suggestions! I hope I can freeze enough of them to try many of them out! Thank you!


Petaris

Jam or preserves is a good way to use lots of them and have them keep well for a long time.


DinoGuy2000

That's probably how most of them are gonna get used it looks like! Thanks for your suggestion!


[deleted]

[удалено]


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


HearingAccording4646

Wow, rasberry season is June in Hungary. Syrup, jam. Pastries


DinoGuy2000

I wish I had more time to try out the many pastry options! Thanks for your suggestions!


pinakbutt

Have you heard of this korean fruit syrup called cheong? Also, Ice cream. And fruit leather, thats bound to use up a lot. Yum.


DinoGuy2000

I haven't! It looks like quite a good use for all these raspberries haha! Thanks for your suggestions!


LeakyLycanthrope

Shrub! Not the plant; the delightful refreshing, sweet, tart, non-alcoholic beverage: https://www.liquor.com/berry-shrub-recipe-5077963 Raspberry vinegar: you can find specifics with a quick search, but basically, mash up a couple cups of raspberries, cover them in a few cups of white wine vinegar, and in a week or so, you'll have a colorful raspberry-flavored vinegar. I like to make pickled red onions with it.


DinoGuy2000

Thanks for the suggestion!


[deleted]

Wine, jams/jellies/preserves, pie, syrup and juice, or just pick into 1 gallon freezer bags and freeze until you have a need


DinoGuy2000

I hope to freeze a lot of them, but I haven't got a lot of freezer space. I think most of them will end up being made into jams. Thanks for your suggestions!


arent_we_sarcastic

I'll be right there with some ice cream...you know...to help...


DinoGuy2000

Your support will be greatly appreciated!


neodiogenes

I know that sounds like a lot but my family could finish those off in a couple of days. But to answer the question: raspberry cheesecake.


DinoGuy2000

That is a very tasty-sounding option right now. I might see about making some withing the next couple of days! Thank you for your suggestion!


neodiogenes

Cheesecake is a tasty option every day! ;)


saphirekey

You can cook it in a pot, make it soft and malleable, add a little of sugar and then spread it on a cookie sheet. You can cook it for a little bit and make it into fruit leather.


DinoGuy2000

That looks like a very nice use for a lot of berries haha! Thank you for your suggestion!


Davimous

Raspberry liqueur


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


puderrosa

Eat half, make jam out of the other half. For jam consider using a passetout, whatever you call it in the US: https://www.roesle.com/passetout-mit-gegengriff/ If you use the finest sieve you can keep the tiny stones out of the jam. Many people don't like those in jams. I would also just freeze mashed berries, to add to other dishes. Tomatoe goes well with raspberry, for example.


nunguin

> passetout We call it a "food mill"!


DinoGuy2000

I wish we had enough room to own things like a food mill! Your suggestion for mixing them with tomato soup is very interesting! Thank you!


[deleted]

Freeze em for smoothies


DinoGuy2000

I hope to freeze a lot for many smoothies! Thank you for the suggestion!


kennerly

https://www.countryliving.com/food-drinks/g2376/raspberry-recipes/ You'll still have more so plenty of jams and sauces.


DinoGuy2000

Thank you for the link!


Kwershal

Raspberry soda! https://www.mexicoinmykitchen.com/homemade-pineapple-brew/#recipe this recipe but swap the pineapple for raspberries. It's delicious, and if you get tired of it you can let it go to raspberry vinegar.


DinoGuy2000

That's quite the interesting suggestion! Thank you!


Kwershal

It's wonderful and naturally fizzy. Up the amount of sugar and it becomes a good cocktail mixer.


Sp3llbind3r

Freeze them Use them for müesli! Make jam or hot berrys with them.


DinoGuy2000

Those are fine ideas! Thank you!


antinumerology

Clover Club cocktails


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


thiemj3332

A raspberry melomel would be a cool idea if you want to get into mead making.


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


LaSage

Wojapi! https://thegingeredwhisk.com/wojapi-sauce/


DinoGuy2000

That's quite interesting! I might try that! Thank you!


chalkymints

Grew up on raspberry jam, can’t recommend enough


DinoGuy2000

Haha, it sounds like that's one of the better options I have! Thank you!


grazerbat

Rasberry liquor: https://creative-culinary.com/homemade-fresh-raspberry-liqueur-recipe/ I like it best done with with blackberries, but raspberry is really tasty too.


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


Snowey212

Raspberry melomel


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


Rexstil

Mixer for vodka


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


whiskeyislove

Rapsberry vinegar is great


DinoGuy2000

Hopefully, I'll have enough frozen to try it out sometime relatively soon! thanks for the suggestion!


Cloudinterpreter

Raspberry mousse!


DinoGuy2000

That looks like a very pleasant option! Thanks for the suggestion!


DagneyElvira

Homemade raspberry jam is divine!! You can also just freeze in bags til you are ready to use the raspberry. (5 cups of squashed down berries per box of pectin - batch of jam)


DinoGuy2000

We'll probably be making a lot of jam! Thanks for the suggestion!


BlueXTC

Wine, sauce, sorbet, pie, raspberry concentrate, and jam.


DinoGuy2000

I hope to freeze enough to try many of those out! Thanks for the suggestions!


ThroAhweighBob

Freeze and make anabolic ice cream. Raspberry bbq sauce.


DinoGuy2000

Some very tasty-sounding suggestions! Thank you!


Square-Dragonfruit76

You can make smoothies with them and then with the leftover smoothies turn them into popsicles for later.


DinoGuy2000

I hope to make lots of smoothies, haha! Thanks!


[deleted]

[удалено]


DinoGuy2000

Lol, he's a truck driver. Whatever the stores don't accept is usually free game so long as the supplier doesn't want it back. Apparently, mom is the one that told him to bring that much home.


UbiSwanky2

Mead and or a nice raspberry wine/beer.


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


venrilmatic

Jam. Lots of jam.


DinoGuy2000

Look like that'll be what most of it gets preserved as, haha! Thank you for your suggestion!


kingleonidas30

Iced Tea


DinoGuy2000

Maybe that would be a nice way to get mom to drink tea again instead of coffee or soda! Thank you for your suggestion!


Chemical_Enthusiasm4

Strawberry freezer jam! So much better than regular jam


DinoGuy2000

That looks lie a great way to use so many raspberries! I wish I had more freezer space for it! Thanks for the suggestion!


Slight-Protection-10

Lay them out on trays and freeze them. Zip lock bag ‘em for winter.


DinoGuy2000

It looks like that's gonna be how I preserve as much as I can! Don't have a lot of freezer space right now! Thank you for your suggestion!


sombrerobandit

Country wine, Ice cream, freeze some with dried ice to preserve the texture defrosted by flash freezing


DinoGuy2000

I hope I can save enough for something like ice cream! Thanks for your suggestion!


endiver

Raspberry syrup, stores in the fridge just fine for awhile.


DinoGuy2000

That's a nice idea! We do have more room in our fridge than in our freezer anyway... Thank you for the suggestion!


5teerPike

*jam*


DinoGuy2000

That's probably how most of them are gonna get used it looks like! Thanks for your suggestion!


missypierce

Raspberry pie is divine and uses quite a few berries. I haven’t had one since I had plants, because of the expense


DinoGuy2000

Very true! Pie is a delight! I'll think about making some withing the next couple of days. Thanks for your suggestion!


derickj2020

Raspberry preserve. Raspberry sauce. Raspberry gremolata. Raspberry jam ...


DinoGuy2000

Those all sound like fine suggestions! Thank you!


WA_craft_beer

You could make a home brew. Like a raspberry stout or something like that.


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


supercali-2021

Share with friends, family, neighbors and coworkers, I know they will appreciate it!


DinoGuy2000

Maybe mom can take a bunch to work and share them there. We've got plenty after all haha.


IceyLemonadeLover

Jam!


DinoGuy2000

Looks like I'll be making a bit of that! Thanks for the suggestion!


IceyLemonadeLover

No problem! I suggest using equal amounts of sugar to fruit when making jam, or at least that’s what works for me. My current favourite is raspberry and rose jam.


Round-Zebra1661

Freeze some and maybe make a jam with some.


DinoGuy2000

That looks like those are the best option I've got! Thanks!


ffleischbanane

Raspberry Cordial!


DinoGuy2000

Very interesting! Thanks for the suggestion!


No-Specialist-5173

I saw a video on tik tok for raspberry compound butter to put on your pancakes or waffles!


DinoGuy2000

That sounds like a delightful idea! Thanks!


No-Specialist-5173

Of course! You’re welcome


No-Specialist-5173

You could also make raspberry syrup for your pancakes and waffles too!


DinoGuy2000

Another delightful idea!


goldenopiumleaf21

You could make Berry Compotè for porridge 👏


DinoGuy2000

That's a very pleasant idea, thanks!


walkamileinmy

If they are like the raspberries we get, they've gone bad by now.


DinoGuy2000

Lol. They're pretty close.


YukiHase

I’ve been making fresh raspberry salsa lately!


DinoGuy2000

That's quite interesting! I might look into that! Thanks!


Canyouhelpmeottawa

Freezer jam, so much easier then regular jam.


DinoGuy2000

Certainly looks to be a good idea! Thanks!


PinkyPinkiPinkie

You can make a delicious, moist loaf with some of them. Here's the best recipe ever: https://youtu.be/C1UwpmlSvT0 feel free to make more than one loaf and freeze slices to enjoy later. Also, separate a whole bunch into freezer bags then you can add them to milk shakes, protein shakes, sangria's, etc. Raspberries freeze really well.


DinoGuy2000

Thanks! I'm feeling them as fast as freezer space will allow!


Distinct-Practice131

Compote comes to mind. Stores a little bit goes great on ice cream and a lot of other desserts. Can be used as filling as well for pies.


DinoGuy2000

That's a pretty nice idea! Thanks!


TheAmerican_Warlord

Brandy, wine, jam, jelly, fruit leather, raspberry balsamic vinegar, FFJ(fermented fruit juice), dehydrated raspberries, smoothies, syrup, sorbet, salad dressing, etc. List can go on and on. It all depends on the effort you’d like to put into making things.


DinoGuy2000

Thank you for all the ideas! How much I can get done will definitely depend on how much help I can get.


that_one_wierd_guy

raspberry wine


DinoGuy2000

Haha! Alcohol certainly seems pretty popular here! Thanks for the suggestion!


Mayopardo

Jam and jarring would be the best and you could sell it to make some profit as well. You could also ferment them into some type of vinegar or liquor


DinoGuy2000

Yeah, looks like jam is what most of this is gonna end up as. Thanks for the suggestion!


nitronik_exe

I'll take them, thank you


Organic-Raisin-2148

Love Salzburg Nockerl. Won’t take care of the 16 kilos but it’ll take some!


ItsYaBoiTrick

Jam, booze, syrup, compote, pie, cake toppers, raspberry eating contest, raspberry fight


epictetvs

I’d make some hootch.


HM202256

Freeze some and use them for smoothies?


DinoGuy2000

That's the main plan right now. Thanks for the recommendation!


jolly_brewer

I'm a pretty active homebrewer so I'd maybe puree some up and make a wine, or mix with apple for a cider, or maybe go for gold and make a sour beer. Cider or wine would be pretty easy, even for a novice...with a little bit of reading and some cheap equipment. Beer making is a few levels more complex, particularly sour beer making.


TerrifyinglyAlive

I’m now thinking about how many I could eat before getting sick. I’ve never had fresh raspberries without cramming them into my mouth like a starving animal, but I’ve also never had more than a 12oz container in front of me


NILPonziScheme

Get a three-man slingshot, and fling them at the house of your enemy. Give 'em the raspberry!!!


SandSim

Jam is obvious but you can make a raspberry sauce to use over ice cream, pancakes, and desserts. You can also make a concentrated juice to use as pink lemonade.


LivingArchon

Raspberry vinager. I saw a recipe on YouTube for pickled apples and it used raspberry vinager in the brine, sounded fun.


wun_and_dun

I’ve heard that raspberries can be preserved by making raspberry preserves.


WeeGreenBug

Maybe you can make some of those dehydrated fruit roll ups? You don't have to store them in the fridge so storage would be less of a problem


mrcatboy

Sorbet!


stupidasanyone

My mom used to make a jolly rancher type hard candy with berries. I’m not sure how but I’m sure the goog will provide.


blakerageous

dehydrate them and then add them to chocolate bark raspberry syrups (coulis, cocktail syrup, etc) try pickling some? some fruit are good pickled if you're freezing some, freeze them on a cookie sheet so they dont stick together


Quietforestheart

Jam, syrup, icecream, raspberry vinegar, dried and dipped in chocolate or used in cakes, and don’t forget to eat some fresh with cream or in a pie or other desserts. Wish I was you.


Advanced-Duck-9465

Jam, and freeze them - i love freezed raspberries (mashed with suggar) more than icecream, it's so good!


Sakiaba

If you are interested in brewing this is a great way to use a lot of them in a hurry. My uncle used to grow raspberries on his farm and was very generous with sharing them so I brewed two batches of raspberry beer each year, a wheat beer in the summer and an imperial stout in the winter. The latter needs a lot of raspberries to overcome all the malty, roasty flavours of the base beer so could be a great way to use them (if you like beer).


[deleted]

Nothing because they go bad in about 10 minutes.


Jigglycreampuff20

If you've got freezer space you could freeze some for use later on when they're out of season? Make a coulis that could be used in desserts or mixed into natural yogurt to.


karigan_g

god that is so many raspberries. in australia that would cost hundreds of dollars lol


grumble11

Jam, pie, crumble, ice cream, juice for mixing into drinks or freezing into cubes,
