 Boysenberries *L*S*
Oh boy, they're here! The BOYSENBERRY, a hybrid of the blackberry and raspberry, have a rich, sweet, very distinctive flavor that combines the best qualities of both berries. The warm weather and sunlight of late Spring ripens the fruit, and they are perfect now for mouth-watering sauces, pies and other desserts. BOYSENBERRIES are highly perishable and very ripe when harvested, so please plan on using them only as an ingredient. They won't look pretty enough to use as a garnish but they will taste fabulous! Their season is brief, but their impact is mighty. Knott's Berry Farm is one of Southern California's most popular theme parks, and its humble beginnings were as a roadside stand where Mrs. Knott sold her BOYSENBERRY pies and preserves. Never underestimate the power of the BOYSENBERRY!

 Rainier Cherries
The RAINIER, a combination of the Bing and Van cherry varieties, is light cream to golden colored with a pink to red blush. The most precious of cherry varieties, its flesh is sweet and delicate with a colorless juice. Like most fresh fruit, RANIER CHERRIES can be bagged and frozen for several months. Pit and remove stems, freeze in one layer on large baking sheets and enjoy one of summer's favorite flavors in the dead of winter. Delicious when eaten out-of-hand or cooked, RAINIER CHERRIES are wonderful in clafoutis (a nice change from the more traditional Bing cherry) or a cherry-frangipane tart. Along the frangipane line, a few drops of pure almond extract added to baked cherries complements their flavor. Spoon over vanilla ice cream and Voila! Cherry perfection!
