Have you ever tried an Alaska honeyberry?
Or even heard of one?
When I mention that we sell honeyberries on the farm I can count on one of two answers. It’s either “WHAT is a honeyberry?” or “You have honeyberries? They are my new favorite berry – how can I get some?”
It’s fun introducing people to new foods – and it’s an honor to know that food that we painstakingly cared for is in the freezers of our neighbors and community members, nourishing them all winter long.
Although we are mostly a sugar free family, we make an exception for Alaska honeyberry jam because it’s our favorite. We put a dollop on our homemade yogurt, on sourdough toast, or sometimes even in oatmeal or on pancakes. It has that good honeyberry flavor but it’s nice and sweet. So yummy!
Also, this particular recipe doesn’t use pectin – it’s just honeyberries and sugar. Super simple!
If you have extra honeyberries, give it a try – I think you’re going to LOVE it! ((Hint: It makes a GREAT gift!))
