Ok, so maybe this one wasn't such a 'challenge' after all. Actually, more of a softball really, but I said I was going to use all produce that passed through my market ranging from super exotic to every day - so here goes.
Red raspberries are probably my favorite fruit of all time - there is nothing that beats a red raspberry fresh off the plant that tastes like the summer sun. Takes me back to the jam my mom would make each summer. She would send us out to the raspberry patch with a bowl only to find that we always came back with red lips, full bellies, and an empty bowl. We inevitably always ended up having to buy the berries. Oops.
I have wanted to try making scones for a long time. They are just so amazing that you would think they are really difficult to do. Turns out the most difficult step is remembering to leave the butter out to soften. [Never been able to remember to do this, but a certain former roommate hammered the point home that when a recipe says to soften the butter you had better follow suit or your finished product (always cookies in this case) would not be perfect. Good thing he had the patience to smash my oft-not softened butter with a potato masher - he saved dozens of cookies from mediocre existences.] Aside from the painful step that requires you to stand there and cut the butter into two cups of flour, scones are wonderfully easy to make.
The finished product was delish and even better served with ice cream (let's be serious, what isn't?).
Raspberries?
Conquered.
