Traditional Newfoundland Partridgeberry Nut Loaf
Hi and welcome to my website, I guess you are looking to make a lovely partridgeberry nut loaf and you stumbled on my site. That is wonderful!
This recipe is so quick and easy and you will keep in your favourites to make again and again, partridgeberries are good anytime of the year fresh or frozen.
Partridgeberries are so tasty and these berries are on the low bushes and ripe in late August to November in Newfoundland, and its ok if they get snowed on just as long as they didn't get the frost to soften the berry.
This recipe is prefect for any berry type if you don't have access to partridgeberries, remember to always coat the berries in flour first then fold it into your batter mixture. This will stop the berry from falling to the bottom of your cake or loaf.
I will share with you a link to another recipe you may like to try sometime.

Partridgeberries are a sour berry that is picked in late summer or early fall, they look a lot like cranberries but smaller. Most people usually make partridgeberry jam or jelly with them. But there are still a few that like to bake loafs, pies and cakes with them.
This recipe is one I have enjoyed making for years, partridgeberries are my favourite berry and I can’t get enough of them, so when I get the chance the pick them or if someone gives me some I would freeze a few for the winter months. Then I will make jams and jellies and bottle them for the long winter months as well.
Because partridgberries are a sour berry they mix will with apples to make a cobbler or pies.

Re: my Partridgeberry Nut Loaf
Your video batter lovely & fluffy where mine was dry & heavy.
Rechecked quantity ingredients but had to add little extra milk to complete mixing.
Did use evaporated which had been frozen. Maybe eggs not large enough.
Tester clear after 45 mins, taste good but looks moist.
Where did I go wrong?
Hi May: Thank you for your message and for visiting my website, I’m glad you made this lovely loaf. This is a good question! I can give you a ton of different reasons but I always say if it don’t work the first time please try it again. You said your milk was frozen and you didn’t have large eggs, I would start with those two things first. Try large eggs and a fresh can of evaporated milk of fresh milk. Let me know how this work if not I will help you work through this problem. Enjoy Bonita
I just made and the bread is oozing butter, would one cup have been better to add?
Hi Anna: Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, I’m not sure what happened because I make this one lots and it didn’t ooz butter from the bread. You can use 1 cup maybe the texture is to much for you and just give that a try.I’m glad you made it and thank you for letting me know. Bonita
Thank you ever so much for this recipe. I have a partridge berry loaf recipe but it is packed in storage and I have no idea how to find it. Having just recently come to NL, I got a good supply of partridge berries and wanted to make some loaves. This is the only “plain” partridge berry (nuts can be omitted) loaf recipe I have found. Thank you for posting it.
Hi Carolyn: Thank you for stopping by and sharing with us your story, I’m so glad you are going to make our Partridgeberry loaf and its fine to leave the nuts out. Enjoy to the fullest and stop by again for more tasty desserts and meal recipes. 🙂 Bonita
