ONTARIO SPECIALS

BUTTER TARTS

Within a flaky pastry case, these tarts have a sticky, wobbly centre of brown sugar, butter and corn syrup. Variations might also feature raisins, pecans or walnuts.

SWEETCORN

Sold in their husks from roadside farm shops during August and September, Ontario’s corn cobs have sweet, plump, yellow kernels.

PEAMEAL BACON

This unsmoked, wet-cured back bacon gets its characteristic golden crust from the cornmeal in which it’s rolled. Try it in a fluffy roll at Carousel Bakery at Toronto’s St Lawrence Market.
