  2. Hi Helen! The raspberry lemonade looks wonderful and I would love to try it, but I get an error message when I click the recipe link (I’ve tried on my phone & desktop). Is there a way you could put the recipe in the post? Thanks!

    I looooooooooove raspberry and I’m jealous as we don’t have here fresh one.
    I think I could make the raspberry syrup from frozen ones, right?

      Yes you can – just check the sugar content and add sugar accordingly. I freeze lots of berries just so I have them on hand for things like this when they go out of season!
