This is interesting . I never thought of having these berries cooked .. some bushels of this berry grow in my garden n i let a few of them grow and snack on the black or red ripe fruits by themselves. You have used raw fruits and thus should be an interesting dish…they are good for health i know..
Wat a healthy masiyal..thanks for sharing..
