I have never had a juneberry to my knowledge. Do they have a flavor their own? Or do they taste like another fruit?

I think this is a good description but maybe with a hint of blueberry too? Definitely on the bland side so I make jams and pies with it!

Juneberries taste like a cross between cherries and almonds, which is not surprising as all are botanical cousins within the rose family (Rosaceae). Baking brings out the berriesโ€™ almondy flavor, and Juneberries are excellent in pies, muffins, and other baked goods. Because their flavor is a bit on the bland side, Juneberries in baked goods and jams are best when blended with a tarter fruit, such as mulberry (Morus alba or M. rubra) or black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis), which ripen around the same time as and often grow near Juneberry.
