  • Boreas' Cranberry Raspberry Fruit Soup

    Boreas' Cranberry Raspberry Fruit Soup Recipe Details →

    We are honored to have this recipe featured in the just-released Best Places to Kiss Cookbook! This dish is a beautiful deep, dark pink-red in color and the taste is rich and full of luscious berries (an excellent source of antioxidants!). We serve it as our "fruit course"in our multicourse breakfast at the Inn. Since one of the bounties of the Long Beach, Washington Peninsula is the cranberry, we use them frequently. When you see this dish completed, with the brilliant white dollop of heavy cream and the bright green sprig of mint contrasted on the deep pink soup, you realize it’s a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth. In the summertime, we use Long Beach Peninsula-grown fresh wild blackberries, huckleberries, blueberries and raspberries.
