Whether or Knott’s it’s you boys’ berry flavorite, you might want to think about how to jam this flavor of the week into your mixes: Boysenberry!
submitted over 6 years ago by ID10-TThe Kingmaker

As always, the purpose of this thread is to gather the community to explore a category of flavor and its many uses. And it's also to have FUN!

Post recipes containing this week's Flavor of the Week, as the star or in a supporting role, with or without development notes. Talk about other people's recipes that use it. Compare and contrast different manufacturers' versions of the FOTW. Ask for help using that flavor in general or to achieve something specific, offer advice, brainstorm ideas, consider substitutions, suggest pairings... really anything at all as long as it's on topic.

#This week's flavor is... BOYSENBERRY!

How did that get to be the FOTW?

My Main Squueze

LA lemonade with some boysenberry (flavourah) some raspberry, strawberry and lime. Sounds like a lot, but the strawberry and boysenberry give that jammy foundation and the raspberry is there to add something to the lemonade.

It's not perfect, but it was about time I contributed something. I'll look at moving out the lime (as it adds too much rind to keep it in the ADV rotation) and put in lemon mix or such. Very much open and seeking input.

Ah Boysenberry! What a wonderful flavor.

I recently used VT Boysenberry in a mix I made - French Mornings - A buttered croissant with berry marmelade.

It doesn't have THE main role, but let's call it a supporting star, as it's job is to add to that delicious berry goodness I was after.

I wish I'd seen this before I ordered a bunch of stuff from Chef's that didn't include VT Croissant!

Well u/ID10-T next time brother, next time! Unlike WF Croissant, it's so buttery and fat. I love it!

Being from Australia I only found out about Knott's about 3 months ago while searching the internet for berry recipe names and ideas.

I've only tried FLV boysenberry but I'm a big fan of it!

Also, this is a great one to add to Buttermilk Pie by graniteX (flavorah's)

Just found this thread. I’m surprised there isn’t a little bit more about TFA Boysenberry Deluxe. It’s very handy in small concentrations... like .5% or so

/u/kindground likes it. Which means I need to track it down and pick some up.

It’s really great! However I have accidentally used regular TFA Boysenberry and it ruined a mix. It is not as nice!

That one I do have and it is not playing around. I tried it in a recipe where it worked really well at 0.25%. Not sure I would want to use it any higher.

I thought it was a really great Boysenberry and very usable. It was actually #2 on my list behind FLV.

I'm going to do a couple of versus battles this week for Boysenberry. Who will win:

Berry Aide by Falon1000 or Boysenberry Lemonade by OutofHand.

Boysenberry Melon-Head by BradH or Boys Love Melons Lemoande by /u/humanpuck

?

I wouldn't be so sure just yet. Both recipes look tasty AF to me. Maybe it'll be a tie and we can use that to rope you and this BradH person into some kind of mix-off tie-breaker or even into becoming mortal enemies.

I really appreciate the review and the feedback. I do have some tweaks I want to make to this recipe based on the feedback and now that my flavor stash has grown to what it has.
