Canada 2019 Sweet Canada Odd shaped Miniature Sheet with odd shaped stamps
Issue date 17 April 2019
Canada Post to commemorate traditional Canadian Deserts has issued a set of 5 odd shaped stamps on an odd shaped miniature sheet in the form of an index card featuring the following Deserts - Sugar Pie, Butter Tart, Saskatoon Berry Pie, Nanaimo Bar and the Blueberry Grunt. These stamps are Permanent Stamps for domestic use.
The Nanaimo bar, a no-bake dessert bar, is named after the city of Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. A crumb crust of chocolatey coconut is topped with rich, creamy custard and covered with a layer of melted chocolate.
An original Canadian recipe, Saskatoon berry pie is a local delight, with the berries, tasting like a mix of almonds and apples, wrapped in flaky pastry. A staple for Indigenous peoples and early settlers, the berries are high in fibre, protein and antioxidants. Their name is derived from the Cree word misâskwatômina, which also inspired the name of the city of Saskatoon, meaning “at the Saskatoon berry.”
The earliest published Canadian recipe of butter tarts dates back to 1900. An integral part of eastern Canadian cuisine, this sugary treat has inspired tours and tasting festivals. Ontario’s Best Butter Tart Festival and Contest, held annually in Midland, attracts bakers from across the province and is the largest celebration of its kind in Canada.
A staple of Quebec patisseries, sugar pie (tarte au sucre) traces its origins to France. Colonists brought the recipe for the pie along with them – but since brown sugar was a rare commodity in New France, early French-Canadian versions used maple syrup as a sweetener.
Believed to be an early adaptation of an English steamed pudding, blueberry grunt gets the name from the sound it makes as the blueberries bubble and steam under a dumpling topping. The popular dessert has been enjoyed by generations of Maritimers, who came up with this delicious way to use a bumper crop of local blueberries.
