Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    In 1923, horticulturist Rudolph Boysen crossed a raspberry, blackberry and loganberry to create the boysenberry. This purplish red fruit is shaped like a large raspberry and has a rich, sweet-tart flavor.
  • tip 2
    Feeling peachy? Try Peach Pirouette Torte: Substitute a 16-ounce bag of frozen sliced peaches, partially thawed, for the boysenberries and orange-flavored gelatin for the raspberry-flavored gelatin. Reserve 3 peach slices for garnish.
