About the Boysenberry: 

Horticulturist Rudolph Boysen created this hybrid berry in 1923 by crossing a RASPBERRY, BLACKBERRY and LOGANBERRY. It's shaped like a large raspberry, has a purple-red hue and a rich sweet-tart flavor. 

Boysenberry Syrup

2 cups fresh boysenberries
3 cups water
2 whole cinnamon sticks 
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
Place boysenberries, water and cinnamon sticks in a small heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes Remove cinnamon sticks and strain. Add
molasses, sugar and vanilla. Let cool.

Pour over pancakes, crepes, ice cream... delicious!

1 cup milk 
1 cup boysenberries 
1 cup 7-up or lemon-lime carbonated drink
