boysenberry
Horticulturist Rudolph Boysen created this hybrid berry in 1923 by crossing a
RASPBERRY,
BLACKBERRY and
LOGANBERRY. It's shaped like a large
RASPBERRY, has a purple-red hue and a rich sweet-tart flavor. Choose boysenberries that are firm and uniform in size. Discard shriveled or moldy berries. Do not wash until ready to use, and store (preferably in a single layer) in a moistureproof container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
