Marionberries

The marionberry is a Pacific Northwest invention: a cross between the wild blackberry, loganberry, and the raspberry. Name for Marion County, Oregon, where they were first extensively grown and fresh Marionberries are a rarity outside the Northwest.

Marionberries have an aromatic bouquet and an intense blackberry flavor. They are usually quite tart (as a result, this recipe does not call for any lemon juice).

Marionberries are an expensive crop to produce. Marionberries can be grown in either an every year or alternate year production system. In the every year system, a crop is produced every year with dead fruiting canes removed after harvest and the new primocanes trained in either August or February.

Marionberry contains high levels of anthocyanins (109-155 mg per 100g), polyphenolics that can protect against cancer, heart and circulatory diseases and age related mental decline. Marionberry also contains high levels of strong antioxidants such as Vitamin C, gallic acid and rutin that help promote circulatory health, and fight against cancer

Yellow raspberries or golden raspberries

Raspberries are easy to grow, bear their first fruits the same year or one year after they’re planted and taste great fresh or in pies, jams, spreads, syrups, dressings and sorbets.

Raspberries come in a variety of colors – red, yellow, black and purple – each kind with its own distinctive flavor. Yellow raspberries are mutations, or sports, reds and tend to be very sweet. The color is less attractive to birds, too. Yellow raspberries are variations of red raspberries and except for fruit color have all the characteristics of red raspberries.

They are grown chiefly in home gardens. Yellow raspberries bear fruits on stalks that grow directly off canes, while black raspberries and blackberries bear fruits on stalks arising on branches from canes.

Yellow raspberries are still rarely seen in stores because they are so fragile. However both red and yellow raspberries are very cold tolerant, hardy as far as Canada.
