Loganberry

The loganberry is a hybrid produced from crossing a blackberry and a raspberry. Loganberries may be eaten without preparation as well as used as an ingredient in jams, pies, crumbles, fruit syrups and country wines. Loganberries, in common with other blackberry/raspberry hybrids, can be used interchangeably with raspberries or blackberries in most recipes. English Sherry Trifle are best with Loganberries, as their juice (or syrup in case of tinned berries) combines well with the Sherry wine. The berries are generally harvested when they are a deep purple colour, rather than the red shown in the illustration above.
