These are sunberries. What are sunberries? I had no idea until a few days ago when I got some in my CSA share from Ollin Farms. Good thing I have some Boulder Ice Cream in the freezer.
This is what Mark at Ollin Farms says about these berries:
“This unique berry was developed by in the early 1900s by Luther Burbank, who said it was the result of many years of crossing of Solanum guinense (a species native to Africa) and S. villosum (indigenous to Europe). Sunberry’s fruits are blue, slightly sweet and slightly larger than a pea. Said by its admirers to rival and even surpass blueberries. They can be used in baking and are delicious mixed into vanilla ice-cream.”
