Boysenberries

Store fresh boysenberries in a single layer in a breathable container in the refrigerator. They are very perishable. Frozen boysenberries are excellent for pies, jams, and smoothies.

Rinse boysenberries gently just before using them, as washing too early can make them mushy.

They are fantastic in jams, pies, crumbles, and sauces, where their tartness balances sweetness.

Add them to smoothies or yogurt for a burst of flavor and color.

Consider making a boysenberry syrup to top pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
