Summer perfection
Boysenberries. A cross between raspberries, blackberries, dewberries and loganberries. My absolute favourite berry bar none - you can watch them grow, turning from red (more sour bite than a raspberry) through to dark black (more sweet & juicy than a blackberry). Can't beat 'em.
This mug-full took 2 plants took 2 days to grow 22 of the things. Gorgeous. Only pity is they disappeared kinda rapidly... 🤷🏼🤪 -
Knotts Berry Farm Jams and Jellies discontinued by Smuckers. (the brand no longer had anything to do with the amusement park; it was owned by Smuckers, who bought it from Conagra, who bought the naming rights from the Knott family in 1995). #KnottsBerryFarm #boysenberry #jam #food https://lamag.com/food/knotts-berry-farm-jams-and-jellies-are-no-more

Today we made #boysenberry #jam. Throughout August and September I had collected, and directly frozen, berries from a single bush in our #garden. Our old juicer did a good job extracting most of the seeds so that we got 5kg (11 lbs) of jam that tastes of summer.

#OTD Rudolph Boysen, #Plant #Hybridizer, died.
On one #June #Morning, he found a new #Fruit on his #Plants - the #Boysenberry (a cross between the #Loganberry, #Raspberry, & #Blackberry).
The grower, Walter Knott, acquired the #Berry & named the plant in Rudy's honor. #Knott made an empire for himself with the proceeds - establishing Knott's Berry #Farm.
Rudolph Boysen never earned a dime from the Boysenberry.#GardenersofMastodon #FollowFriday #Garden #Discovery #Breeder
