Bakeapples

For those of us who grew up in Newfoundland Labrador, bakeapples were a welcome sight
in the later part of july or early august.
I was fortunate to have a bakeapple bog about a five minute walk from our home.
We would pick them for jam or as a snack, when we were swimming or trouting
in the Landing Place pond. (Pond in Creston South, Marystown on the Burin Peninsula.)
Lately I've had to get bakeapples from my a roadside stand or from my friend Jim.
Jim is retired and spend his days on the bogs during bakeapple season..

Bakeapple jam was always one of my favourite, however; we would have bakeapple pies and later a bakeaplle cheese cake.
Today, I like a bakeapple sauce on vanilla ice cream.

The Dark Tickle Company from Griquet in Newfoundland manufacture a wide variety
of bakeapple products. I've hadthe opportunity to visit their store and see their
manufacturing facility. This was a number of years ago when I was covering the island
for a wholesale company..
