Black. No, no blue...ahhhh Boysenberry! Yep, Boysenberry.
Black currants...by some distance...
Red Currants, shortly ahead of blueberries
If you have a look over at gotmead, Chevette Girl currently has a thread going about red currants that might help, but failing that just look up some recipes online and then just replace the sugar with honey ?I planted some red currents this spring and got about a 1lb. Do you recomend a ratio per gallon?
See since they became available here, I've sort of liked them, yet its rather weird, despite the wonderful colour etc, they seem to have less flavour than I expected.Blueberries are my favorite berry, but I don't like them in my mead. Assuming we are sticking to berries (ruling out cherry), I think cranberry works the best. I also planted some elderberry bushes, so I have to see how those work in mead.
I prefer my own dingle berries.
I love Siberian Honeyberries but this year I had trouble with my bushes so didn't get but half a pint. Only enough for in a bowl of ice cream, not enough for a mead, maybe next year.
