Polarberries.

[ahedderick]

After your first polarberry post I did some reading up on them. I couldn't believe that there have been white blackberries since the late 1800s and I'd never heard of them! I found that:

a) websearching "polarberry" was a bad idea, because it returned me umpteen results for some type of marijuanna product and something tech-y

b) Per Wikipedia:

The white blackberry is an unusual white variety of blackberry developed by plant breeder Luther Burbank,[1] also known as the iceberg white blackberry or snowbank berry, probably originating as a pun on the name "Burbank".

He originally found a wild pale coloured blackberry in New Jersey, named "Crystal White". He then mixed that berry with the Lawton blackberry, and then other pale berries.[1] Burbank had tried out 65,000 unsuccessful crossbreeds,[2] at his facility in Santa Rosa, California, before achieving success in 1894.

It was a fascinating rabbit-hole to dive down. My question to you, @allthingssoulful-garden is; do you ever cook them into pie or jam? If so, do you have to add color of some kind? They look delightful fresh, but I'd imagine they'd look odd cooked up without any color.
