"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
I grew up next door to my Aunt Pearl and her family. Both families had boysenberry vines for many years and Mom and Aunt Pearl made lots of jars of boysenberry jam. Aunt Pearl was a fantastic cook and this is one of the delicious desserts I remember eating often at her house.
