You'd never know it by the amount of rain we've been getting, or the absence of any sunshine whatsoever, but it's summer time here in Colorado and that means sweet treats! My kids love (*LOVE*) berries of all shapes and flavors. They don't usually last long in our house but, in the event we find a good deal on them, we buy extra and throw them in the freezer and use them for some sort of fun concoction.
Pictured above we have berry "ice cream". We put strawberries and raspberries in the blender with some yogurt that was a day or two past its prime and a bit of crushed ice.
We've made berry popsicles by just running several types of berries through the food processor, then freezing them. They loved the watermelon popsicles too (and I'm thinking of adding a little vodka next time - um, for me of course, not them).
Fletcher loves milk shakes which we make by pureeing any fruit we have along with some milk.
I'm going to try my hand at some sort of preserve or jam that can top pancakes, waffles and maybe even some home made cheesecake. Anyone have a delicious recipe to share?

I didn't know it would be so easy to make berry ice pop treats. Yummy!
I am hoping to make my first foray into jam, jelly, and preserves making soon myself, so sadly I have no recipe or advice to offer you other than that the Ball Complete Book of Home Preservation has lots of good ideas in it.
I suddenly want a berry smoothie. :-)
