In my experiences with Aronia melanocarpa.  I really like the flavor of
purchased juice and jam (usually imported from Europe), I also like the flavor
of tarts made from ornamental varieties here, but the skins of the cooked 
whole
fruit was too tough.  Either the cultivar discussed has thinner skins or was
somehow processed to make a filling for pastries, (or perhaps the texture
preferences of the group that tried the tart were not universal).
