As fruit consumption increases, more chefs and at-home cooks are using berries in dishes ranging from desserts and appetizers to more savory entrees and sides. There is no better way to enhance a holiday meal then with an array of recipes that the berry portfolio influences."</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p>The winning recipe went to Renee Iseson of food blog KitchenConumdrum with her Raspberry Chocolate Ganache Tart. The day was also full of the sharing of berry bites and holiday traditions to peak the interest and awareness of the many versatile ways that berries can be used, not only in holiday dishes and desserts, but year round.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://www.driscolls.com" target="_new"> Driscoll's </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
