The jostaberry’ taste is very special and it match well with the creamy and sweet cheesecake.
The jostaberry is smaller than a gooseberry but a bit larger than a blackcurrant. And its taste is between a gooseberry and a blackcurrant too. I think the blackcurrant flavor more dominant in the ripened fruit.
The jostaberry is edible both raw and cooked.
