Earlier this week, Evan and I went to our local Saskatoon berry U-pick. We have figured out that Saskatoon berries are one of our favorite berries to eat in the summer. Delicious!
Evan and I picked a single bucket this trip because it was HOT. However, they were totally worth the trip. Saskatoons are a sweet, seedy berry. They look a lot like blueberries but have a different taste…some say more like a cherry. They grow on the prairies of Canada and in the Northern US. In the US they are called service berries.
We have been eating them by the handful for a couple of days. With company coming this weekend, I will be whipping up a batch of Saskatoon Berry muffins.
A pail of berries goes a loooooong way. I asked what I should make on my MerryAboutTown FB page and there were some great suggestions like Saskatoon berry barbecue sauce, panna cotta, smoothies and more. These will be a great addition to my favourite Saskatoon berry pie recipe and I am looking at revamping some of my blueberry recipes. I think you could easily use Saskatoon berries instead of blueberries in my blueberry overnight french toast bake.
