Saskatoon berries grow abundantly on our prairies but never have i come across a province more lush with them than manitoba. I am making my first fresh saskatoon berry pie but the berries are just as good frozen and i will use your recipe. Because of the or as needed listed with the berries i was leery and added another cup and a half which was perfect total 6 1 2 cups. My recipe is one of my mom s that i tweaked a bit by adding cinnamon and almond extract. I find that it adds a wonderful subtle flavor that enhances the berries.
A saskatoon pie also makes for a nostalgic sweet for mothers in law in the hospital where the desserts that arrive on the nightly dinner tray rhymes with hell o and comes in a plastic cup. As a resident of saskatoon saskatchewan i ve made and eaten saskatoon pie many times. I have just started picking the berries today and will do so daily for the next 3 weeks. We ate wild blueberry occasionally apple but about 95 of my grandmother s meals included a saskatoon berry pie for dessert. Saskatoon pie is something i grew up eating more than any other pie and i do mean any.
Simmering the berries softened them and made the flavors blend together nicely taking away a bit of the berry s tartness.

These berries really let us know that summer has arrived. Saskatoon berries grow abundantly on our prairies but never have i come across a province more lush with them than manitoba.
