edible honeysuckles and the fruits were few and bad tasting."


The ones I have taste WONDERFUL! I bought cultivars Blue Bird and Berry Blue from Burnt Ridge Nursery. Like many fruits, they need to be cooked to bring out the best flavor but they are tasty eaten fresh and better with a pinch of Splenda. I microwave a half handful until they burst, then smash with a table fork. Add a half cup of oatmeal, a cup of water, 5 packets of Splenda (I like sweet oatmeal) and microwave on high for 2-1/4 minutes and enjoy.
