Recipes 

Wild Rice with Wild Mushrooms 

One non timber forest product is wild rice and is the first recipe for our cook book. It is from 

Helen Norman, it is a favourite with her family - and a must at Christmas and Thanksgiving. 

Ingredients: 

1 cup wild rice 

3 cups beef broth 

¼ cup butter 

In a large pot bring rice and broth to a boil then simmer with lid on tight for 45 minutes. 

Drain off fluid, add ¼ cup butter, stir into rice. Set aside. 

Filling: 

2 cups MB Wild mushrooms 

2 large onions 

¼ cup butter 

½ cup almonds 

Chop mushrooms into large pieces and fry in butter until golden brown. Remove mushrooms 

but leave as much butter as possible in the pan. 

Chop onions into large pieces and place in the pan, add ¼ cup butter and fry until golden 

brown. 

Combine mushrooms, onions, and all the butter from the fry pan into the pot of rice and broth. 

Toss lightly with two forks and replace lid. Keep warm. 

Place almonds into the fry pan used for the mushrooms and onions and cook until golden 

brown. Sprinkle almonds into rice mixture and serve immediately. 




Recipes 

Highbush Cranberry Sauce 

Highbush cranberry (Viburnum trilobum) is shrub native to much of Canada. 

The berries are high in vitamin C and were eaten fresh or made into pemmican. The bright red 

fruit was also used for ink and a dye for clothing. 

Winter Berries of Highbush CranberrySettlers used the berries mainly for jelly and juice, each 

berry has a large, heart shaped seed in the centre, making it more suited for use as a processed 

fruit rather than fresh. 

Highbush Cranberry Sauce 

1000 mL (4 cups) highbush cranberries 

50 mL (1/4 cup) water 

15 mL (1 tbsp) gelatin 

250 mL (1 cup) sugar 

Wash and stem the berries and place in a saucepan with the water. Simmer, covered for 10 minutes 

or until all the berries have burst open. Strain out the juice and return juice to the saucepan. 

While the juice is hot, add sugar and gelatin and stir until dissolved. Cool and serve as a sauce 

with meat and wild game.
