Tip: Do you have Beekers Berries whiteberries at home? Then you can use them perfectly for the white layer of the Dutch flag tompouce. To do this, halve the whiteberries and place them in the same way as the blueberries. This way, you create the beautiful red-white-blue flag of the Netherlands.

To create our tompouce with red fruit, we prioritise the highest quality with our delicious Beekers Berries strawberries and blueberries. Unlike traditional coloured glaze, we harness the natural sweetness of these soft fruits for an unforgettable taste experience.
