About the Haskap Berry

Haskap berries (also called honeyberries) are elongated blue berries with a unique flavor combining blueberry, raspberry, and honey notes with subtle tartness. These cold-hardy berries ripen early in the season and have tender skins that make them perfect for baking applications.

In sweet cooking, haskaps work beautifully in muffins, pies, and jams, offering more complex flavor than regular blueberries without being overpoweringly tart. Their natural sweetness means you can reduce sugar in recipes. For savory applications, haskaps create excellent glazes for pork or duck, and their mild tartness pairs well with soft cheeses in tarts or galettes.

Home bakers appreciate that haskaps hold their shape better than blueberries when baked, won't burst as easily, and provide that coveted "something different" flavor that elevates familiar recipes.
