Behold, the garden huckleberry, a berry with a magical transformation when cooked and sweetened! These little wonders are a solanaceous berry from Africa and are packed with antioxidants, particularly anthocyanin, giving them their intense purple-black hue. When raw, they have a tangy, tomatillo-like flavor that makes them perfect for savory snacking and salsas. But wait, there's more! When cooked and lightly sweetened, they transform into a delicious treat reminiscent of blackberry or gooseberry. It's a quick-maturing annual that produces an abundance of fruit in a short season. However, beware of under-mature berries, as they can be slightly poisonous and unpleasant. The key is to harvest when the berries are dull black and slightly soft to the touch. From there, you can create delectable jams, pies, syrups, and fillings that will tantalize your taste buds. The garden huckleberry is truly a gift from the garden that keeps on giving!
