Wojape

This recipe is inspired by the book “The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen” by Sean Sherman. We have made adjustments using our favorite SweetGrass Trading Co. products.

This traditional sauce uses fresh berries such as chokecherries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc. There is no need to pit the berries, as the pits drop to the bottom of the pot when the sauce becomes thick and lush. It can be sweetened as a dessert or served as a tangy sauce to top meat and game or vegetables. It can also be used as a dressing. Makes about 4-6 cups.
