What are Texas Persimmon and Where Can I Get Them?

Great questions! Txas Persimmons are big, black berries that grow in, you guessed it, Texas.

They are very sweet, not tart at all, and have a mild prune flavor.

The chocolate works so well with the persimmon because they’re nothing but sweet.

And the pulp is so inky black and thick, they already look like they should taste like chocolate.

So this recipe really delivers what my eyes are hoping for!

Always Use Caution in the Wild

As I’ve said before in my other foraging posts, always use caution when eating things in the wild.

Do your research and carefully compare pictures and descriptions of whatever you’re wanting to pick and eat, BEFORE you put anything in your mouth.

The nice thing about mesquite trees is they’re easy to spot and the beans are very unique looking so you should have no trouble identifying them correctly.

Agarita Berries | How to Make Homemade Pop-tarts

Agarita berries are tart, sweet, and interesting to pick. Learn how to make simple, homemade pop-tarts using the Agarita berry jam – or whatever filling you like!

*Scroll to the bottom for the FREE PRINTABLE recipe!

Our family had a lot of fun picking these berries the last couple of weeks. We learned about them over the winter and have been patiently waiting for the berries to ripen enough to harvest.

We ended up picking a bunch of under ripe berries but we just couldn’t wait any longer! Foraging for berries is one of my favorite things to do!

If you wait until they’re all red, you’ll get a prettier color for your juice/jam/jelly.

**Stayed tuned for the upcoming video on my Youtube channel: Good Enough and Stuff.

***There are a lot of berry bushes out there that are not safe to eat so it’s important to be sure you identify a berry correctly. If you can, find a person who has eaten them before and have them point it out to you.

Watch the video!

What Do Agarita Berries Look like?

I like these berries a lot because they’re pretty EASY to identify.

The berries are bright red and grow in clusters.

The leaves look a lot like holly leaves – stiff, grayish green, and spiky at the points.

The leaves also grow in groups of three, all stuck together at the center.
