My Dark Cove Pantry

I am from Gambo, NL, located on the east coast of Canada, in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. My hometown of Gambo was once divided into three smaller communities, known as Middle Brook, Dark Cove & Gambo. I grew up in Dark Cove, and absolutely love to cook and bake, so I thought what better name could there be for my first blog than 'My Dark Cove Pantry'. Even though I now live in Flatrock, and now have a new pantry, it will always be 'My Dark Cove Pantry'.

Patridgeberry Tarts and Coconut Cream Pie

I love the patridgeberry. I think it may be my year-round favorite. It's quite tart and freezes exceptionally well, and it tastes just as good after being frozen as when fresh.

I was fortunate enough to get to buy three gallons of the ruby-colored gems this fall. On the weekend I made a small batch of jam and a few pies. Patridgeberry tarts was a staple in Newfoundland homes years ago.

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of making pastry, but when I do I usually make enough for a couple different types of pies. This weekend, it was patridgeberry tarts and a coconut cream pie.

Cheers

Sorry for drooling, it's just that it all looks so delicious!
I haven't picked partridgeberries, but I have memories of going up on the high ground above Portugal Cove and picking buckets of blueberries, freezing some, and making pies..... mmmmm, gorgeous!

Oh my goodness those pies looks delicious! I never heard of those berries that you mentioned Kathleen. I don't believe they have it here in where we live. The color surely is beautiful. I love anything coconut!!
