Since DH's hospital visit in April he knows he can't eat any berries or nuts. Now I am getting innundated with blackberries and raspberries from the garden. I think they are producing 3 times as much now that DH can't eat them. Poor DH picks them and can't even eat them!

That's a torture that would make the Marquis de Sade envious! I remember the hospital episode but not the specifics. The dietary restriction sounds like he had a bout of diverticulitis? If so, I've heard that's not a pleasant thing to have. Don't know what to advise other than telling you not to eat those berries in front of DH. Do your bit to avoid domestic violence! ;^)

Aww poor man, that's so difficult.  I wonder, could you use a Victorio Strainer with the berry screen to make seedless berry pulp. That could be made into slushies, ice cream, syrup and jam. I feel his pain, I can't have even a small amount of corn & for years before the medical issues; corn on the cob was one of my all time favorite summer treats. It seems like every summer BBQ includes corn on the cob.  I haven't had any corn since 1986 and to this day, the smell still makes my stomach growl.  |

So far he can eat corn. Go figure. He really did come close to buying the farm in April. He won't eat a single berry or nut now, and I don't blame him.
This is the first year that the raspberries have really come in strong. They sure are delicate though. They bruise/overripen too easily!
