Description:

Oh boy, they’re here! The Boysenberry, a hybrid of the blackberry and raspberry, have a rich, sweet, very distinctive flavor that combines the best qualities of both berries. The warm weather and sunlight of late Spring ripens the fruit, and they are perfect now for mouth-watering sauces, pies and other desserts. Boysenberries are highly perishable and very ripe when harvested, so please plan on using them only as an ingredient. They won’t look pretty enough to use as a garnish but they will taste fabulous! Their season is brief, but their impact is mighty. Knott’s Berry Farm is one of Southern California’s most popular theme parks, and its humble beginnings were as a roadside stand where Mrs. Knott sold her Boysenberry pies and preserves. Never underestimate the power of the Boysenberry!
