I have a pound of black, purple and raspberries. We won't be able to eat all of them in the next couple of days so I'd like to find a way to preserve them for a couple weeks. I make jam but since it's only a pound I don't know if it's worth it, plus all the recipes for jam call for so much sugar and as these are sweet organic berries, I'd like to highlight their flavor. So I'm thinking some sort of fridge syrup or compote. Any ideas? I've also got a lot of straberrries and am making sorbet, gelato and jam. Any other ideas? These are also small super-sweet organic berries. Thanks!

I'd be surprised if it didn't work for your raspberries. BTW, there's a similar treatment here on Chow using strawberries: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10708 Sun Jul 19 19:06:30 -0700 2009 4872525 95137 mcsheridan
