Triple Berry: Summer On a Stick

My friend Karen canned a lot of jam and other stuff last summer, and she was kind enough to share some of her creations with me. Her Triple Berry jam was really delicious – I particularly love it on pancakes. When we started thinking about flavors for the Fruit Basket collection, I thought it would be a great taste to emulate.

We experimented with different berry trios and different balances of sweetness and tartness before settling on the killer combo of Strawberry, Raspberry and Blackberry that make up the lollipop we are proud to call Triple Berry.

My friend Simon is a talented cook, a foodie with a critical streak, which makes him a highly valuable taste-tester. Triple Berry is his favorite flavor in the Fruit Basket, or rather his favourite, as he is from South Africa. We look forward to hearing your reaction to this and the rest of the new Fruit Basket flavors!
