Notes
Several varieties, from the small dark sour kinds of the northern hedgerows to the large sweet ones of the Forgegate river valley. Season is short and the fruit will not travel, so a Nyrra eaten fresh is a local pleasure and a mark of the time of year. Preserved in spirit or in honey it keeps, and is a common gift.
