What Does Cramp Bark Taste Like?
The cramp bark berry is a fruit with a tangy and fruity flavour. Its aromas are reminiscent of wild berries and undergrowth berries, with a touch of cranberry and cherry.
This unique fruit can be eaten raw or cooked, it was once used in jellies and canned food to replace cranberries. Excellent for flavouring jams and sauces, as well as adding flavour to desserts, especially pies and sorbets.
