Jostaberry
Berry☀️ Peak in summer
A unique hybrid of blackcurrant and gooseberry, the jostaberry offers a sweet-tart explosion with hints of spice. Its dark purple skin conceals a juicy, vibrant interior, making it a delightful addition to desserts and preserves.
Where it comes from
Cultivated primarily in Germany, the jostaberry is a crossbreed developed in the early 20th century, capturing the best qualities of its parent fruits while being resistant to disease.
In the kitchen
Jostaberries shine in jams and jellies, where their tartness balances sweetness, but they also add a punch to savory sauces and salads, enhancing complexity.
