A Canadian Family Picnic – Circa 1867 featuring Old Fashioned Raspberry Cordial

By Denise Pare-Watson

CHC CANADA 150 FOOD BLOG CHALLENGE SERIES

Featuring a recipe for Old Fashioned Raspberry Cordial

I am a proud Canadian. When the Culinary Historians of Canada invited food bloggers to participate in the “CHC Canada 150 Food Blog Challenge”, I knew that I wanted in! What a great way to celebrate and honour Canada’s 150th birthday by featuring a different Canadian dish or discussing a topic which reflects on what it means to be Canadian.  For the month of July, CHC invited food bloggers to share stories and recipes that relate to the topic of Canadian culinary history in this sesquicentennial year.  I was intrigued by the invitation to host an 1867- or a 1967-themed picnic. I have chosen to write about an 1867 picnic and have developed a menu for a typical Canadian family of that period. I have taken a bit of literary licence to include options for refrigeration, which was unavailable to all but the wealthy of those times. My post includes a recipe for Old Fashioned Raspberry Cordial. I hope you enjoy going back in time with me for A Canadian Family Picnic – Circa 1867.

Zesty Lime Ice Cream

By Denise Pare-Watson

Making Ice Cream, Sorbets, Sherbets and other frozen desserts was a huge part of my job as a pastry chef at a busy golf and country club. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of making ice cream and thought I should start sharing some of the wonderful varieties of ice cream that I had the opportunity to create. One of my favourites was a Zesty Lime Ice Cream. It is quite refreshing and one of the quicker ice cream custards to make. The sour cream adds a tanginess that balances the custard well. The little flecks of lime zest throughout the ice cream make it a very attractive dessert. It was usually served very simply with a garnish of berries, a crunchy cookie in a stemmed ice cream goblet.

Blueberry Sour Cream and Greek Yogurt Tarte

By Denise Pare-Watson

I enjoy berries of all kinds but one of my favourites is blueberry.  They are readily available fresh, frozen or dried. There are numerous ways to utilize blueberries in sweet or savoury dishes. The recipe that I will be sharing with you in this post is called Blueberry Sour Cream and Greek Yogurt Tarte with Streusel Topping.  The filling is quick and easy to make using either fresh or frozen blueberries. This is one of my favourite tartes and I would recommend that you add it to your dessert repertoire.

Blueberry Sour Cream and Greek Yogurt Tarte

Blueberries have a unique flavour – sweet with a slightly acidic finish that is similar to a grape.  The anthocyanins in blueberries are linked to many health benefits; which may contribute to maintaining bone health; lowering blood pressure, preventing cancer; promoting healthy digestion due to the fibre; reducing the risk of heart disease; and even prevent wrinkles!  While I cannot guarantee that last claim, I do know that your family and guests will love this tarte.   Give it a try – you will not be disappointed….
