Cloudberry

The cloudberry is the amber-to-golden aggregate fruit of Rubus chamaemorus, a low creeping bramble of cold northern bogs and arctic-alpine tundra. Built like a small pale raspberry from a cluster of plump drupelets, it ripens from hard red to a soft, translucent honey-gold and tastes tart and juicy with a distinctive musky, honeyed apricot-and-quince perfume. Hand-foraged across the far north, it resists cultivation and is a celebrated Nordic delicacy.
