HASKAP WHIPPED ICECREAM
-
A decadent accompaniment using whipped cream, flecked with colourful specks of haskap berries. Serve on the side or even as a dessert in it’s own right. Quick and easy to make.
-
1 cup whipping cream
1 handful of haskap berries
2 tablespoons icing sugar (optional)
-
Whip the cream until it begins to thicken.
If desired, add icing sugar and continue whisking until soft peaks form.
Blend the haskap berries until smooth, then gently fold them into the whipped cream.
Carefully spoon the mixture onto pies or baked goods.
HASKAP JAM
-
A delightful blend of rich, tangy haskap berries crafted into a smooth, velvety spread. This jam captures the essence of summer with its deep, ruby hue and a flavour profile that dances between the tartness of blackcurrants and the sweetness of blueberries. Perfectly balanced with a hint of citrus and just the right amount of sweetness. Spread it on toast, swirl it into yogurt, or use it as a glaze for pastries—this jam is a versatile treat that brings a touch of gourmet to every bite.
-
4 cups haskap berries
2 cups granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 packet (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (optional, for a thicker consistency)
-
Prepare the Berries:
Mash the berries in a large bowl using a potato masher or blend them lightly if you prefer a smoother jam.
Cook the Jam:
In a large pot, combine the mashed Haskap berries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
If using fruit pectin, add it to the mixture and bring it to a rolling boil.
Boil the Mixture:
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
Boil for 1-2 minutes if using pectin, or 10-15 minutes without pectin, until the jam thickens and reaches the desired consistency.
Test for Doneness:
To check if the jam is ready, place a small spoonful on a chilled plate and run your finger through it. If it wrinkles and holds its shape, it’s done. If it’s still too runny, continue boiling for a few more minutes and test again.
Jar the Jam:
Remove the pot from the heat and carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch of space at the top.
Wipe the rims clean, seal with lids, and let the jars cool to room temperature.
-
Store the sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or process them in a water bath for longer shelf life.
HASKAP FRESH SUMMER SALAD
-
Don’t be misled by the name of this summer salad,
you can have it all year round. Be creative and change the fruit based on what is seasonally fresh.

It is a softer, creamier mozzarella than that made from cow’s milk.Use the salad as a main course at lunch or as a side with our haskapa Cedar Plank Halibut.

2 ripe peaches
3 bocconcini cheese

Slice bocconcini cheese into ¼ inch thick discs. Place rounds and shaved Parmesan randomly
over tomatoes and peaches. Sprinkle with fresh basil. Pour dressing over salad as desired.
