Molasses

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.

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.

Christmas Pudding. This simplified recipe is baked, not steamed but still has all the great molasses spice flavour of a traditional pudding. Incredibly delicious with our Rum & Butter Sauce!

Blueberry Gingerbread Cake with Toffee Sauce. A moist and delicious homemade gingerbread cake bursting with blueberries and served warm with an easy to make toffee sauce.

Jam Jam Cake – inspired by one of Newfoundland’s most favourite cookie treats from the locally iconic, Purity Factories. It’s Newfoundland’s answer to the Victoria Sandwich Cake!

Lassy Mogs. A Newfoundland favourite; well spiced, soft cookies with a deep molasses flavour and filled with dried fruit and crunchy pecans. Irresistible!

Old English Fruitcake. Dark and moist with plenty of spices and packed with plenty of sweet glacé fruit. It’s been a Christmas tradition in my family for decades.

Rum Raisin Fruitcake – a simplified recipe for your choice of a a spiced or un-spiced cake, featuring no other fruit than raisins, which have been soaked overnight in rum.

Newfoundland Toutons. The delight of every Newfoundlander, especially served with melting butter & a drizzle of molasses.
