The balance of sweet and tart fruit flavors bursting…gahhhhhhh!  I can’t even explain it, but these were so unbelievably yummy, AND they sure didn’t stay around long here at the homestead.

And when I said above, “when you taste these”… Sorry, it won’t be just one.  It will be ‘these‘.  (I’m just letting you know ahead of time.)
