FLAVOR & PAIRING
Sweet-tart and in mild flavor, berries are often described as apricot-like or reminiscent of a mix between currants and gooseberries. These berries, which transition from yellow to red/black when fully ripe, are ideal for jams, jellies, pies, and sauces due to their high pectin content, and they pair best with lemon, vanilla, and sweet spices.
