Newfoundland Recipes

Apricot Fruitcake. This light apricot fruitcake recipe takes our very popular Apricot Raisin Cake and turns it into a moist and delicious Christmas fruitcake.

Maple Brown Sugar Apples for Toutons, Pancakes or Waffles. We love these on toutons at our house as a Canadian twist on a Newfoundland favourite. 

Queen Anne Squares. Another popular cookie bar in Newfoundland, especially at the Holidays. It reminds me of a cookie bar version of the Mounds candy bar.

Newfoundland Jam Jams. Jam Jams from Purity Factories are a Newfoundland institution. Here’s a recipe for my homemade version of this local molasses and jam cookie classic.

Christmas Plum Pudding. Bringing back a traditional favourite. A real old fashioned British favourite, with no suet and modern day tweaks to make it perfectly.

Parkin is a traditional sticky oat spice cake from northern England that’s enjoyed on November 5, Guy Fawkes Night, i.e. Bonfire Night!

Auntie Crae’s Ginger Sugar Cookies. These are sort of a less intense ginger cookie but their flavour and texture is still excellent and they are still very, very addictive to ginger lovers.

Ultimate Nut Fruitcake. Using 5 different delicious nuts! This recipe uses hazelnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, walnuts and pecans in the cake and is topped by a sweet almond marzipan layer in the ultimate fruitcake for those who can’t get enough of crunchy nuts.

Newfoundland Cherry Cake. A big local favourite especially during the Holidays. The secret in this recipe is undiluted evaporated milk for added richness.

Winter White Cookies are ideal for the Holiday freezer. These easy-to-make treats are no bake and  are so crunchy, caramel-y delicious too!
