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.

Old Fashioned Raspberry Cordial

…

Raspberry Coulis or Raspberry Sauce is a very important item in the pastry kitchen. It is used for so many desserts. It is a mise-en-place item in the pastry kitchen (everything in its place). You definitely do not want to run out of this delicious sauce during a busy lunch or dinner hour rush.

I will always remember shopping at my local grocery store one day and there was a lady in a panic trying to get several clerks to help her find raspberry coulis for a special dessert that evening. If you have done the same thing, you know it is not something you will find readily in the store. Alas, raspberry coulis is surprisingly easy to make with just a few ingredients. In this post, I will show you how to make raspberry coulis by first making a raspberry puree.
