Slide 1: Cloudberries

The Rubus chamaemorus is a herb producing amber-colored edible fruit similar to the raspberry or blackberry.
The cloudberry grows to 10–25 cm high.
The leaves alternate between having 5 and 7 soft, handlike lobes on straight, branchless stalks.
After pollination, the white flowers form raspberry-sized berries.
Each fruit is initially pale red, ripening into an amber color in early autumn.

In Finland, the berries are eaten with heated, local cheese
In Sweden, cloudberry jam is used as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, and waffles
In Norway, they are often mixed with whipped cream and sugar
In Atlantic Canada, cloudberries are used to make "Bakeapple Pie".
In Alaska and Northern Canada, the berries are mixed with seal oil, reindeer or caribou fat, and sugar to make "Eskimo Ice Cream" or "Akutaq".
