Questions about Boysenberry
How do you use boysenberries in a crumble?
Tumble fresh or frozen boysenberries into a baking dish, scatter over a crumble topping and bake at 180 °C for about 30–35 minutes, until bubbling and golden. You can bake them from frozen; allow a little extra time if the fruit is still icy.
Should you wash boysenberries before storing them?
No: moisture makes the delicate berries spoil faster. Keep them unwashed in a shallow container in the fridge and rinse gently just before eating; discard any mouldy or leaking berries.
Can you freeze boysenberries?
Yes. Spread dry berries in a single layer on a tray until firm, then transfer them to a sealed freezer bag or container; this helps stop them clumping together. Use them straight from frozen in smoothies, porridge or baking.
What goes well with boysenberries?
Their sweet-tart flavour works with cream, yoghurt, vanilla, lemon and dark chocolate. Add them to pavlova, pancakes or porridge, or simmer them into a sauce for cheesecake and ice cream.
What can you use instead of boysenberries?
Blackberries are the closest easy swap in crumbles, pies and sauces, with a similar dark, juicy character. Raspberries work too, but are generally softer and more tart, so check the sweetness of the finished dish.
What is a boysenberry?
A boysenberry is a hybrid bramble fruit, related to blackberries and raspberries. Its name comes from Rudolph Boysen, who developed the plant; the fruit was later popularised commercially by Walter Knott.
Can you eat boysenberries raw?
Yes; rinse them gently under cool running water and eat them whole. Their small, soft seeds are edible.
