Newfoundland Recipes

A simple collection of some of the most popular Newfoundland Christmas cookie recipes from my childhood in Newfoundland.

Blueberry Tea Buns. Serve them warm from the oven just as they are or drizzle on a simple vanilla glaze to fancy them up for teatime.

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!

Cinnamon Biscuit Blueberry Cobbler. Warm cinnamon biscuits atop a bubbling fresh blueberry sauce and served with vanilla ice cream.

Auntie Crae’s Multigrain Muffins. A super easy, mix and bake recipe that’s adaptable to many different flavours.

The Best Blueberry Pie. This one uses wild Newfoundland blueberries which I think are the absolute best, most intensely flavoured berries anywhere.

Cherry Cake – a moist pound cake based upon a favourite Christmas tradition but using fresh sweet cherries instead of glacé fruit. Make it with frozen cherries too!

Best Canada Day Desserts. From Moose farts to Tim Tarts! An incredible collection of delectable Canadian inspired desserts to celebrate the birth of our nation! 

Pineapple Strawberry Rhubarb Jam a.k.a. Heavenly Rhubarb Jam. A jam my Newfoundland grandmother made in the Spring when seasonal rhubarb became available.

Cranberry Scones or Partridgeberry Scones. Light, buttery scones with delicious pops of tart flavour baked inside. A tasty teatime treat!
