Knott's Boysenberry Festival Tasting Preview

Picture
This past Tuesday Knott's Berry Farm held their Boysenberry Festival tasting event and we were invited out to check out the event. 

Scott and Buffy were on hand to take in all of the amazing boysenberry goodness. 

​Be sure you bring your appetite for this update. 

Written by Scott and Buffy Linder 
​One of the most anticipated events of the year at Knott’s Berry Farm is their annual Boysenberry Festival. If you like good food or boysenberries (or good food AND boysenberries) then this year’s festival will NOT disappoint. Let us look at what you will be able to get during this upcoming 23-day food fest:
Picture
​One of the things they like to highlight is all of the new Boysenberry-themed merchandise you can get. Some new stuff this year – Boysenberry Bacon jerky, sugar-free Boysenberry Punch concentrate, Boysenberry Jelly Mini-pies and more!

​Boysenberry Bark Bars!

​Boysenberry Chocolate Popcorn.

​Boysenberry Chocolate Almonds and Caramel Bites.

​Some Boysenberry (You sense a theme here?) Jelly Mini-Pies.
Picture
​Boysenberry Peanut Butter Jelly Cups.
Picture
​And that’s not including some T-shirts and Boysenberry Cotton Candy you can get during the Festival as well. Now, for some fantastic food! They really run the gamut here from a Boysenberry Hummus to a Boysenberry Quesadilla. I will be quiet now and just let you enjoy the food pics!

​Let’s not forget they have a pretty good Boysenberry Beer, too!

We were able to try most of the dishes shown above. Everything was very good. That is not even an exaggeration. The chefs at Knott’s are getting very good using Boysenberries in both sweet and savory applications. A lot of the savory dishes you try you might expect a sweet component to the dish with the incorporation of the boysenberries…but you don’t.
​
So what were some of our favorites? According to the chefs here they really do try to make it so everything is really good and it’s hard to pick favorites. It really is! That said the standouts for me were the Boysenberry Short Rib – falling apart and just melt-in-your-mouth delicious …
Picture
​…and the Boysenberry Mini Sausage on a Bun with a choice of Boysenberry Ketchup, Boysenberry Relish or Boysenberry Mustard. I had the mustard.

​My wife, however, loved the Boysenberry BBQ Wings. These are a returning champion as they keep coming back every year. They are THAT good!
Picture
​This year Knott’s is also including a small art festival titled “Tied Up In Knott’s” where select local artists are having their works showcased. It’s some really neat art and you should check it out when you visit!

It just not make sense, to effectively reduce to null and void what is part of their nation's wealth. That is where I suggest the flaw lies. Thanks for sharing this blog
