Jam or jelly from Halifax !?!?!?

[jealdaka]

I was in Halifax last year and got some jelly or jam at a gift store in the downtown area. It was wonderful but I can't remember the fruit which was native to that area I believe. I think the maker was Tickleberry. Can anyone give me some help on finding out the name?

 

How's that for a strange cruise question!!

We were in Maine and Halinax this summer and we saw lots of wild blueberry jam, which is different that the blueberries from the New Jersey area.

Berries native to our area - Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries...nothing really unusual here. But you may have bought bakeapple, or cloudberry jam which are made from berries native to Newfoundland, but are available in some of our downtown giftshops.Hope this helps

While we were in Helsinki we bought some cloudberry liquer called Lakka. You think this is the same berry? Ever see any of that in the area? They also had a cloudberry jam and jelly.

THAT'S IT!! It was bakeapple. Is that actually a fruit? It was awesome. Thank you so much for the information.

Bakeapple and cloudberry are about the same I think. They are a small raspberry like berry of a yellowish color. Grown native in Newfoundland. We have seen cloudberry wine here as well, had a tasting once and it was very good.

 

Cloudberries are originally from the Netherlands, so that makes sense since some of the very first settlers in Newfoundland came from that area of the world.

Thanks for the website. I even think that was the name of the maker instead of Tickleberry.
