One of my favorite homemade ice cream recipes is this haskap prairie berry ice cream. I have been growing haskaps in my garden for the last ten years, and I am always coming up with new haskap berry recipes.
I love them so much I plant 4-6 new plants each year. I have 24 plants in total now. I freeze them to make haskap sorbet, ice cream, jam, and pie throughout the year. They are also fantastic in smoothies and smoothie bowls.

What Are Haskap Berries?
Haskap berries, or Lonicera caerulea, are purple-blue elongated berries also known as honeyberries, edible honeysuckle, or blue honeysuckle berries.
Its name originated in Northern Japan, where 'haskap' means "berry of long life and good vision." These berries are known as a 'superfood' because they have more antioxidants than blueberries and are high in vitamin C.
These dark blue berries grow in cold climates in Asia, Europe, and North America. They are native to northern boreal forests. Japanese, Canadian, and Russian varieties can grow in different types of soil, from wet areas to high mountains.

Recipe FAQs
The flavor of haskap berries is unique. They are slightly sour with a zing. They are a cross between a blueberry, raspberry, and black currant combined.
They grow well in the United States, eastern Europe, Chile, Japan, Russia, and Canada. The University of Saskatchewan plants can survive cold temperatures and grow very well in Canada.
Honeyberry plants require cross-pollination for fruit production, so you need at least two different varieties in your garden. They bloom early in the spring and ripen by late spring or early summer, and are the first berry crop to ripen.
In Canada, you can find many online stores that will ship them. If you are in the United States, check your local U-Pick and Farmer's Markets.
