Re: Cranberry Walnut Relish

My favourite "uncommon" berry is the gooseberry. And just the wild ones, not the bland, oversized, over-sweet cultivated versions. The "goose"
has bugger-all to do with the guard bird ofnthe same name. "The goose
in gooseberry has been mistakenly seen as a corruption of either the
Dutch word kruisbes or the allied German Krausbeere,[4] or of the
earlier forms of the French groseille. Alternatively, the word has
been connected to the Middle High German krus ('curl, crisped'), in
Latin as grossularia.

More thaan you ever wanted to know, I'm sure. Bv)= Have a nice slice
of pie and a beverage .....

Thanks for the lesson in etym-gooseberryology. :-)

The wild goosberries around here taste good but have a spiky/spiny skin.
So I split them open and suck the innards out.

Another high altitude wild berry is blackcurrants. I love their strong
flavor. The discount grocery store sells "Danish" blackcurrant
preserves that were actually made in Poland. The ingredient list
includes "glucose syrup." I am curious how "glucose syrup" is actually
made. I figure it's the European equivalent of "corn syrup," which is industrial conversion of raw starch to sugar.

I grew up around blackberries and raspberries growing along the fences
on the farm. And in some of the ditches alongside the roads - thank you
birds. When I had a garden in town I tried planting thornless blackberries
and learned that the fruit is not nearly as tasty as the fuit of those
with stickers waiting to scratch your hands for plundering their boounty. Gloves are a must.

Title: Blackberry Sage Iced Tea
Categories: Drinks
Yield: 4 Servings

4 c Water
1 c Blackberries
3 tb Fresh sage
1 Lemon juice of
3 tb Maple syrup; adjust to taste
Ice cubes
Additional sage leaves or
- lemon slices; for garnish
- (optional)

Try my unique Blackberry Sage Iced Tea recipe, featuring juicy
blackberries, fragrant sage, and a splash of lemon, all sweetened with
natural maple syrup. This unique and refreshing beverage is perfect
for cooling off on warm days!

Bring the water to a simmer in a medium saucepan, turn off the heat,
and steep the sage leaves for about 5 minutes to release the flavors.

Add the blackberries to the sage-infused water. Return to a simmer,
then remove from heat and gently mash the blackberries to release
their juices and flavor. Stir in the maple syrup, adjusting the
amount based on your desired sweetness.

Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Once cooled, strain the
liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher, pressing on the
solids to extract all the juices. Discard the solids.

Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice to add a refreshing citrusy
kick.

Refrigerate the tea until it is thoroughly chilled, at least 1-2
hours.

Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled tea over the ice.
You can also add some blackberries to each glass. Garnish with sage
leaves and/or a slice of lemon for an extra touch of elegance. Enjoy!

Title: Rashberry Cream
Categories: Desserts
Yield: 1 servings

1 c Heavy cream
1/4 c Sugar *
1 Egg; 1/2 yolk removed
1/4 c Grape juice (or currant
- juice if you can get it!)
1 c Raspberries; fresh or
- frozen; whole or mashed or
- pureed or de-seeded, etc. *

Heat the cream and sugar together, stirring frequently, until sugar is
dissolved, about 5 minutes. Set aside to let cool. Whisk the egg until
frothy, then stir in the juice and raspberries. Add this egg and juice
mixture to the cream, stirring over low heat until it starts to boil,
about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the cream mixture
into serving dishes of your choice. Refrigerate until firm to the
touch, covering after the cream has cooled. Serve with sugar if you
wish.

* Note: Since the recipe doesn't specify an amount of sugar, I guessed
here, and I liked the results. It's sweet but not overly so. You can
also taste the cream mixture and add more sugar to the fruit and egg
mixture, as the recipe suggests.

** Note: How to prepare the raspberries wasn't exactly clear - at
first I thought perhaps whole, but upon another reading the syntax of
"half a Pint Currant Juice, a Pint of Rashberry" combined with "put
the Juice and Eggs to it" suggested that raspberry juice might be
called for. Inspired by fools and because I wanted a little texture
(and was afraid the mixture might not set with that much liquid), I
let the frozen raspberries thaw and then mashed them with a fork. I
liked the way this turned out, but you could also puree the
raspberries or strain them if you're not a fan of seeds. Because this
ended up setting fairly firmly, like pudding, I think it would be
fine with juice. So if you happen to have raspberry juice, then give
that a try and let us know how it turns out!

Serve with butter, lingonberry preserves and a bit of confectioners' sugar.

You really should find a Swedish Platt pan for this. It makes small
