Last year I substituted one cup of wineberries in my peach jam recipe with pleasing results. This year I think I'll try a sorbet, not to serve alone but as a highlight for vanilla ice cream. If there are any berries left, a compote for creme caramel might be interesting.
Rubus phoenicolasius (read "wineberry") was introduced to America from Japan in 1890 as part of a breeding program to improve the quality of our domestic raspberries. One version of the story holds that it was some fellow in Maryland who brought it in.
