9 berry recipes to try right now
1. Sea Buckthorn Berry Cake
The sea buckthorn berries do not get the recognition they deserve. This fall fruit with its sharp taste is very, very healthy. Toss walnuts into the overall creamy mixture and prepare to be amazed. However, your patience will be put to the test for 6 to 7 hours of refrigeration time. But it’ll be worth the wait.
2. Duck Breast With Blackberry Sauce
Properly cooked duck is uniquely tasty. And that’s why you should consider including it in your menu, at least from time to time! To boost the flavor of a pan-fried duck breast, serve it with a sweet sauce. Like this one made with red wine and blackberries!
3. Pork With Blueberry Sauce
For these pork steaks, you need to do some searing and roasting. You cook them in butter and flavor them with coriander and rosemary. As the meat gets done, prepare a special sauce, from sharp-flavored slightly sweet and incredibly healthy blueberries. A little bit of heavy cream, red wine, and honey will really make the difference. Serve with a side dish like cooked potatoes.
4. Blackberry And Raspberry Tart
What do we have for tonight’s dessert? We want you to make this famous baked traditional dish known as a tart. The recipe we recommend combines the special texture of the tart pastry with the colorful and textured forest fruits – blackberries and raspberries.

Let’s get a sweet and sour blueberry cake on the table, this time. A refreshing ultra-creamy dessert made with yogurt, cream cheese, and whipped cream.
