Contributor’s comments:This recipe was inspired during the summer of 2008 while cruising the BC Inside Passage to Alaska. Grace Harbour is a popular anchorage spot in Desolation Sound Marine Park. The Harbour is very well sheltered and provides protection from all winds and seas. Many cruisers spent as much as a week exploring the area. The apples, plums and berries in the above recipe were picked from an abandoned homestead in Grace Harbour.
This is a truly Canadian recipe made with hand picked crabapples, plums and berries from an abandoned homestead at Grace Harbour in Desolation Sound Marine Park made to an apple-berry cobbler. Crab apples are sour when eaten fresh, yet when baked, gives a sweet tangy taste. Easy to make, healthy and full of nutrients. Can be served warm with ice cream topping.
