Three donuts with raspberry, blueberry and strawberry glazes

When the first real berries of the season arrive, we drop everything. This year we are celebrating with three glazes, each made from fruit picked less than a day before it hits the donut.

No colorings, no shortcuts

We cook the berries down into a thick jam, strain out the seeds, and whisk it into a simple sugar glaze. The colors are entirely from the fruit, which is why they look a little different every week.

Our favorite is the raspberry with a little lemon zest. Get the trio box to try all three side by side.
