Blackberry and Haskap

Autumn in the Garden: Blackberry and Haskap

A neighbourly collaboration by Confiturerie Tigidou

This is the taste of a warm fall afternoon, when the sun turns the fields gold and the berries are full of sugar and character. This creation was born from an instant connection with our very close neighbours, the Les Fraises de l'Île d'Orléans farm in Saint-Laurent.

The essence of the field

The blackberry, grown and picked a few steps from our workshop, brings wild roundness and depth. Our master jam makers paired it with haskap to electrify the blend and give it the tart profile that true berry lovers look for.

Why it's irresistible

• Hyper-local: The blackberries come from our next-door neighbours in Saint-Laurent.
• Tangy profile: A perfect balance between sweet blackberry and zesty haskap.
• Handcrafted: Cooked with precision to preserve the integrity of the fruit.

Pairings and treats

• Toast time: Most of us simply enjoy it on fresh crusty bread with (always!) a generous layer of butter.
• The cheesemaker's board: It creates a striking contrast with aged cheddar or, for something softer, with a fresh cheese like faisselle or creamy burrata.
• A word from the chef: In the kitchen, it becomes a masterful finishing sauce for a roasted pork loin.
