Antioxidant Jam


High Bush Cranberries
This year I have decided to make a jam that includes all the "superfood" berries that grow up here. God has really blessed us up here in the wilderness with wild food and medicinal herbs growing all around us! 



Buffalo Berries

This jam will contain: rose hips, wild blueberries, wild strawberries, wild raspberries, Saskatoon berries, high bush cranberries (Viburnam edule), low bush cranberries (also called lingonberries
(Vaccinium vitis-idaea) & a few buffalo berries. Yes, Saskatoon berries grow up here!


I am collecting and freezing 
the berries now and will make the jam this winter. 


Low Bush Cranberries - Lingonberries





Fabulous Pork BBQ Sauce


This is a fabulous pork barbecue sauce!

Approx 4-5 lbs pork shoulder (more if bone in) - cut off cap (big fat part); then rub with yellow mustard & salt & pepper

Cook in slow cooker until meat is soft & falls apart easily (approx 7 hrs in slow cooker on low)

Remove & chop or shred. Drain off liquid. Replace in cooker & add prepared sauce. Leave on low until ready to eat. Stirring occasionally.
