Loganberry
Loganberries are a unique and flavorful hybrid fruit, a cross between a raspberry and a blackberry. These elongated berries boast a deep, rich reddish-purple hue and offer a tart, slightly sweet flavor with a hint of blackberry earthiness. The texture of a loganberry is similar to a raspberry, with small seeds and a juicy pulp. When searching for delicious and versatile berries, consider the loganberry for jams, desserts, and sauces, offering a distinct taste profile that bridges the gap between raspberries and blackberries.

Storage Tips
Loganberries are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness. Gently rinse them and pat them dry before placing them in a container lined with paper towels. This helps absorb excess moisture and prevents mold. Loganberries can also be frozen for longer storage. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Frozen loganberries can last up to 12 months.
