…. Not a big fan…..

I planted some this year for the 1st time ever. I suppose I'll regret not fencing or tubing them

I like them; they taste/smell a little musty though.

Are we talking about the same thing?

Not the answer that I expected from you…. lol.

We loved them when we lived in Alaska. One trick that will help with the smell when cooking is to freeze them first. I don’t know what the change is but it works. If you steam them or cook them fresh they smell like a locker room. If you’ll freeze them first there isn’t any of the dirty socks smell.

I never tried making ketchup but we always made a few batches of jelly. I think I have one jar left.

Ok,,,,,I’d eat that………lol

They smell like very poor hygiene in very close quarters, frozen or not. I once made liquor from them following the recipe for arctic bramble and it stank so bad it was dubbed butthole syrup, but the men still drank it.
Even cranberries taste better.






I put branches with frozen berries in my marten boxes or right next to them for visual attraction.

I, of course, gave one of the crudest/worst case visuals…. There are varying means of collection. And efficiencies are worth discussion.
