Yum! One of my favorite berries is the Partridgeberry -- otherwise know as Lingonberry, Cowberry or Lowbush Cranberry. Whatever the name, I find this tarty berry delicious :-)
They are usually ripe around the third week in September, and are so easy to pick! My daughter picked a gallon in about 1/2 hour. I freeze the berries and we use them throughout the year in jams, pies, smoothies and muffins.
