Swedish Berries

I have observed before how amazingly similar Sweden is to Quebec.

Well, one big difference is the number of edible berries in the woods. You realize this when you are in the supermarket, because there is juice or jam available for every kind of berry.

In Canada we have strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and saskatoon berries. Maybe cranberries, but nobody picks those except big companies like Ocean Spray.

Here they have all of the above (well, not saskatoon berries, I don't think) plus they have

Hortronbår, åkerbår, lingonbår, nypon and tranbår. Plus some others I can't remember.

The best products are the soppas (soups) made from these. Blåbår soppa (blueberry soup) is especially good.

Plus they have those red gelatin candy berries (swedish berries). Goes nicely with fuzzy peaches.
