Why Choose J. Hungerford Smith Blueberry Topping?
Real Blueberry Texture
Unlike thin, flavored syrups, JHS includes actual fruit pieces. This provides the "visual cue" of quality and the authentic mouthfeel that customers expect from a premium dessert.

Fresh berry quality varies by season. JHS provides a standardized, high-impact blueberry profile that ensures your signature desserts taste exactly the same in January as they do in July.
Excellent Portion Control
The #10 can is designed for high-volume use. When used with a professional pump, you can control your food costs to the penny on every serving.

Frequently Asked Questions — J. Hungerford Smith Blueberry Topping
Where can I buy J. Hungerford Smith Blueberry Topping in Canada?
You can purchase individual #10 cans or full cases at ChickenPieces.com. We ship directly from our Calgary warehouse to restaurants, diners, and scoop shops across Canada with no membership fees required.
Does this topping contain whole blueberries?
It contains a mixture of whole and crushed blueberries suspended in a rich syrup, providing a thick, "fruit-forward" consistency that is much richer than a simple syrup.
Does this product need to be refrigerated after opening?
Yes. Once the can is opened, transfer any unused topping to a food-safe, airtight container and refrigerate. This ensures the fruit remains fresh and the syrup maintains its clarity.
Is J. Hungerford Smith Blueberry Topping Gluten-Free?
While made with high-quality ingredients, you should refer to the specific batch label for the most current allergen information. It is certified Kosher.
Can I use a pump with this can?
Absolutely. The #10 can is the standard size for industrial syrup pumps. For best results, ensure the pump is calibrated for "thick" fruit toppings to allow the berry pieces to pass through.
Can I use this as a pie filling?
This is specifically formulated as a *topping*. While it has a high fruit content, it is thinner than a traditional starch-heavy pie filling. For pies, we recommend a dedicated bakery filling.
How many servings are in one #10 can?
One 115 oz. can provides approximately 75-80 servings of 1.5 oz. each. This makes it a highly cost-effective premium topping for high-volume service.
Is it suitable for flavoring milkshakes?
Yes. It is an excellent choice for adding a "Real Fruit" dimension to milkshakes. Simply blend 1-2 oz. with your ice cream and milk base for a signature berry shake.
Why buy from a Calgary-based supplier like ChickenPieces.com?
By ordering locally, you pay in CAD, avoid surprise border duties, and receive your stock in 2-5 days—essential for maintaining consistent inventory in Western Canada.
