ingredients:
berries picked from the tundra (the maker must choose their ingredients- berry or fish and stay with that recipe for the rest of their life- if it is found out that they are using different kinds of berries it is considered inappropriate and they will lose respect in the community)
crisco (or whale/caribou/moose fat)
sugar
what do you get? the yup'ik delicacy of akutaq or eskimo ice cream.
for a friday treat we make some blueberry akutaq at school today. our master chef/administrative assistant, lucy, was our on hand expert who learned from her mother, who learned from her mother, etc. etc. with the help of an electric mixer we were able to recreate in a short amount of time what used to take hours of hard labor. there are special techniques for mixing the berries & fat- turning to the left is a bad omen.
if you dont think about the fact that you're eating crisco, it's not half bad.
