Wine Salmonberry


Wine Salmonberry
ALAK09D-175
August 30, 2009
Sitting on the bush, ripe for the picking, this salmonberry is much darker than usual colorations, the wine-red color looking very appetizing.  Found all through Alaska, and parts of Canada, these berries are wonderful.  A little less sweet than cultivated berries we're used to, they make wonderful preserves and pies.  But perhaps they're best eaten raw, right off the bush.  Found near Seldovia, Alaska, in the height of summer.  Enjoy.
