Berry in early May

Berrues in early May

The earliest fruits I can gather in my garden are Siberian honeysuckle berries (or Honey berry) and nearly ripe strawberries. This Honey berry is also called May berry as it is the earliest berry to ripen in the year. Beautifully blue like blueberry, with dark red flesh, but quite sour, hard to eat many on its own.

So the trick is to cut the unripe strawberries into halves, add a teaspoon of brown sugar or honey and mix with both berries for half an hour before serving.
