Holiday Recipe: Saskatoon Berry Pie

A staple in Saskatchewan, Saskatoon Berries also grow wild in the Okanagan Valley.

Cook Time: 1 hr

Servings: 8 (1 9-inch pie)

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups fresh Saskatoon Berries ( I’ve also used frozen)
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 double-crust pie pastry
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into pieces


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Combine sugar and flour in a bowl.
  3. Simmer berries and water in a large saucepan for 10 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, then stir in sugar mixture.
  4. Press one pie pastry into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Pour berry mixture into the pan and dot with butter.
  5. Place second pie pastry over top; seal and flute the edges.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes more.
