Pineberries

Hoorah, after last year's meagre crop it was a joy last night to be able to pick a load of these. SUCH a wonderfully refreshing, flavoursome taste that did well as a quick pud with cream.

 I even made 3 pots of jam with them....i know there are loads more to come but now i have got the jam making out of the way i can focus on eating them (i usually preserve towards the end of a harvest and sometimes either don't have enough to make the amount i want or end up having mammoth preserving sessions all at once!,)

And given they used be sold for almost £40 per kilo, it is even more of a joy..

Yes as ever with stuff it is each to their own.  Some folk rate things like rhubarb, asparagus peas etc........but it has imo a great flavour-

 although we all know how very inferior a lot of fruit and veg in a supermarket taste. I mean a normal strawberry, for example, and a tomato, is all but tastless and is certainly unimpressive when bought in a supermarket..until the real thing is tasted

 

If you don't like them you could always set up a non profit making stall on the side of the road to passers by 
But i hope you do like them.....just dont refrigerate them if you wAnt to really taste them properly
