TASTING MY FIRST JOSTABERRY EVER
Finally, tasting the fruit of my labor!
Ever since I got my first Jostaberry last year, I've been waiting to taste this berry. Finally today, I was able to do so. Here's the video of my taste test!
OKAY - IT'S TASTY, I'LL LET THE PLANT LIVE!
After spending about a year growing in a five gallon bucket, my oldest Jostaberry plant finally got to taste the real soil earlier this year. I also picked up a couple of friends to keep it company, so I've got three of these right now. Since I like the taste of them, I plan on propagating a lot more as we move forward.
WHAT'S A "JOSTABERRY?"
First off, if you want to be proper about it you'll need to pronounce it with a "Y" sound instead of a "J," hence calling it a "Yostaberry. Obviously, I'm not quite as "proper" in my video. Moreover, this is a very cool bush in the ribes genus, made by combining three different species, two types of Gooseberries and a type of Currant. It was orginally released to the public in the late seventies.
I would say that the flavor reminds me more of Gooseberries than it does a Currant, and I rather enjoyed it. It tasted good fresh to me, but I'd like to try it in a jam or jelly too. Like many things that we are growing, the only way to see if we'll really like them is to see how they grow and what they taste like, and this one passes my test! I can't wait to see how this plant does for us as we continue.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

So many berries to go by.
Thanks we have you here
to keep us informed about them. Do they sell them in
the market?
Will look for it.
Not sure if you could find them for sale.... they can't really be machine harvested, so not really a bulk crop for mass-farming.
Hmmm...........interesting berry....:)...
Hey man been a while since I checked in. I haven't tried a Jostaberry before. Will have to try it one day.
