Clafoutis, is a French baked dessert of fruit, traditionally made with black cherries and covered with a thick flan-like batter. The clafoutis is served lukewarm and dusted with powdered sugar and sometimes with cream. I have adapted the traditional recipe and made mine to be dairy-free and gluten-free.
Partridgeberries are found all over Newfoundland and Labrador and are sometimes also known as Lingonberry. I have used them in my Partridgeberry Wild Blueberry Crumble with Pecan Topping after a quick trip to Newfoundland reminded me how wonderful these tart berries are and when used with the wild blueberries which can also be found on the island, it creates a wonderful partnership of colour and taste. It's also great if you serve it warm with some ice cream.
