We tried Whinberry pie made with unique fruit you can only grow in Lancs for eight weeks of the year
The first time I heard the word 'Whinberry', I thought it was a mispronunciation - maybe they meant to say raspberry or blackberry? After hearing it again however, I found that I wasn't mistaken - it appears that such a thing called 'Whinberry' exists and people in Darwen are all too familiar.
However, the source of the berries is even more of a mystery. "I've never given that information to anyone, as it's exclusive to us. They are picked and frozen in batches", she said. "We have a limited amount offered to us during the year. So, they get baked on weekends only, so then we can make the stock stretch."The berries are only available around the months of June and July, where they grow on Darwen Moor.
I can also see the Whinberries oozing through the top of the pie, so I can see that they're of a reddy-purple colour and a picture forms in my head - they must resemble a cross between a cherry and a redcurrant. Taking to Google, I see that I am somewhat incorrect as Whinberries are essentially blueberries, I mean from a photo, you would be hard-pressed to tell the difference.Now armed with my new berry knowledge, I cut the pie open.
