Simple Knott’s Boysenberry Broccoli Salad
From: Cleverly Catheryn
Ingredients:
- Fresh Broccoli Crowns
- Fresh Bacon Crumbs
- Pine Nuts
- Dried Cranberries
- Candied Pecans
- Knott’s Market Boysenberry Salad Dressing (Can substitute for any desired salad dressing)
Steps:
- Clean and cut broccoli crowns into bite side pieces. I used fresh cook bacon, cutting it up first before cooking it which makes it faster to crisp and assures it was well done on all sides.
- Draining and allowing to cool, add the bacon bits and all the remaining ingredients.
- Finish off by tossing it all with the Knott's Market Boysenberry Dressing to taste. I like to drizzle a little on the top before serving to give it a finishing touch. Not too sweet and very colorful, this side salad is perfect with sandwiches, BBQ chicken or ribs or a grilled steak! Tip: Not a fan of broccoli, you can substitute it with kale.
- Chill until ready to serve.

- purple food coloring (optional)
Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl and stir until well combined. If you opt to add purple food coloring, remember that a little goes a long way.
- Add to ice cream maker, churning according to machine instructions. After 30 minutes, our ice cream was the consistency of soft-serve ice cream. I then
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container to harden.
Optional Fun: I served our boysenberry ice cream topped with whipped cream and mini chocolate chips. Boysenberry cotton candy around the rim made it an extra special treat. A fun alternative is to make it a little bubbly by mixing it with Sprite.

Boysenberry Shortcake
From: Clementine County
Ingredients:

Steps:
- Start by preparing the Knott’s Berry Farm Biscuit Mix per package instructions. It’s so simple — combine biscuit mix and water in a bowl and mix with a fork. Bake on a greased cookie sheet and let cool. I made my biscuits slightly smaller than the containers I wanted to use for serving. They do expand slightly during baking.
- While biscuits are baking, make boysenberry whipped cream. Mix Cool Whip with 1-2 tablespoons of boysenberry punch concentrate. This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. I ended up making more so that I could dip fruit in it.
- Drain boysenberries.
- Once biscuits are cool, layer biscuits, whipped cream, and boysenberries.
- Enjoy!
