There is something called a Chuckleberry and speciality food company Cottage Delight, based in Staffordshire, has recognised the potential of this berry with the creation of Chuckleberry Jam. Fruity but with a tarter flavour than the more commonly known blackcurrant. The dark and juicy berry tastes like a cross between redcurrant and gooseberry and can be used to top cheesecakes, in crumbles, or swirl some into Greek yoghurt for a simple dessert. Lovingly made in small batches using traditional open copper pan methods, Cottage Delight’s Chuckleberry Jam has no artificial ingredients, is Suitable for vegetarians and is gluten-free. Available from independent retailers for £3.30 RRP.
