Karaka Blacks are here – Hip Hip Hooray!!

Hip Hip Horray!! The Scottish Karaka Black season has started early! These mammoth-sized, dark black shiny berries are exceptionally sweet with excellent flavour. Delicious in desserts, jams and preserves, and excellent for freezing. The usual seasonal window is X- Y but this year they have arrived a little early – all the better as this means we can eat them for longer! If you haven’t tried this berry – you absolutely must, it will become one of the greatest flavours you will ever have tasted! Why not try this different recipe for steaks with Karaka Black berry and Red wine sauce!
