IN ONTARIO, WE GATHER WILD BLUEBERRIES AS WELL AS ELDERBERRIES, CRANBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES AND WILD OR ESCAPED RASPBERRIES FOR OUR COBBLERS AND BUMBLES
From the Vitality Food Feature ‘STALKING THE WILD FIDDLEHEADS‘.
Bumble. It’s a word I’ve coined to describe berries baked with honey and a crumbly topping. In Canada, we make berry or apple cobbler, crumble, crisp, grunt, buckle and pandowdy. Why not add another descriptive? In Eastern Canada, we can gather foxberries, black or choke cherries, bunchberries, and huckleberries. Saskatoon and silver buffalo berries reign in the west. And right here in Ontario and Quebec, we gather wild blueberries (smaller and tarter than domestic varieties), as well as elder berries, cranberries, blackberries, and wild or escaped raspberries. (Makes 4 servings)
