[personal profile] cattitude bought barberry jam a while ago, and I recently opened the jar, tasted a bit on a spoon, and then added some to my oatmeal.

It's a mild, pleasant berry flavor.

The jam is thick/solid enough that it didn't mix into the oats the way some other kinds of jam do, and I don't think it would work well in yogurt. I want to try it on bread (or pancakes?). J djd like the little lumps of barberry flavor in some of the oats, which also had maple syrup, fresh blueberries, and pecan pieces.

I don't think I've ever seen a barberry in the wild, but the Persian grocery near my new dentist has so, SO, many barberries. Frozen barberries. Frozen meat pies with barberries. Many kinds of barberry preserves. Barberry fruit leather. Dried barberries. Barberry juice. Barberry molasses. (This is New England, so I would not have been surprised to see Cran-Barberry Juice Cocktail. But it didn't jump out at me.)
