I've been wanting to eat these for a while but usually don't find enough to make it worth the while. Yesterday we managed to pick a respectable basket of them and decided to candy them in haskap syrup. They ended up soaking up a lot of the syrup and being really tasty. The texture is kind of chewy, like a cross between fruit leather and gummy bears.
I couldn't find a recipe I liked so just made my own. I made the haskap syrup by mixing the berries with sugar, about 1:1 or maybe a little less sugar. I boiled the berries and sugar for maybe 5-7 mins, careful not to let the pectin get to gel stage. I strained the solids out of the syrup and dumped the cleaned mushrooms into the syrup. Boiled for a couple minutes, took the pot off the heat and let it soak for an hour. Drained the syrup off of the mushrooms and dehydrated them until mostly dry.
