Chef pâtissier Damien Herrgott of New York’s Bosie Tea Parlor and Bosie Bakery grew up in Besançon, France, where fresh berries were a welcome first sight of spring after winter snow. He and his grandfather would pick and preserve loads of them from the garden for a bright taste of sunshine through the next fall and winter. Here, you can use fresh or frozen raspberries to make simple, sweet-tart preserves perfect for slathering on tender scones, muffins, or toast.
