Partridgeberry Crumble Squares

12/6/2015

So, I just learned something that I never knew before.  Partridgeberris do grow outside of Newfoundland!!!!  I never in my life knew this and was almost in shock when I realized the other day.

This was how it came about.  I was in Ikea on Friday and I was looking through their jam selections.  There were the normal ones, strawberry, raspberry & blueberry.  Then I noticed a jam called Lingonberry.  I never heard of it. Ikea being a Sweedish store, I assumed it was a Sweedish berry.  I read the back and it was translated in Spanish to cranberries.  But then it was given the Latin name of Vaccinium vitis-idaea that I thought I had vaguely seen somewhere before.  I bought the jam to see what it really was.  When I opened it at home and tasted it..."Partridgeberry Jam!"  So, I quickly searched Lingonberries up only to discover it is a partridgebery with a different name.  Then I went on to learn that they do grow in many different northern climates.  Not just Newfoundland!  I am very excited.

With the jam I bought on Friday, I made these delicious partridgeberry crumble squares.  I can have my old fashioned Christmas after all.  After just about 18 years living in Spain, I never dreamt I would be making partirdgeberry crumbles in my kitchen.  Thank you Ikea for making my December even better!

Lol.....that's funny Julia......I've learned the same thing over the past few years. In Alberta they call them " low bush cranberries".

Two summers ago Guy and I were hiking with some friends in a provincial park here in Niva Scotia......it was like being "in on the barrens " in Newfoundland. First thing I saw was blackberries -- not the fat ones that look kind of like raspberries-- but the little ones that Mom used to make pudding with. Then I found some picture plants, and shortly after I spied partridgeberries!!! I had to look around to make sure I hadn't been transported to Newfoundland......so yes, partridgeberries grow elsewhere, we just have our own special name for them.....Hugs

I'm only just seeing this comment now... What????? I know Cora, I was shocked to see that jam here. Berries would be better, but I'll have to make due... Lol. Nice to know that you can get them outside Newfoundland though.😻

Just made these here in Rhode Island with homemade cranberry apple jam. I spiced the jam lightly with allspice, clove and a touch of ginger.
I'm taking these to my book group tonight to compliment our read:
The Day the World Came to Town.
Thinking warmly of you good folks tonight. 💕
