Best 4 Saskatoon Serviceberry Rhubarb Pie Recipes

SASKATOON BERRY (SERVICEBERRY) PIE

Steps:

• Whisk 2 cups flour and salt together in a large bowl; cut in lard with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles peas. Add 1/4 cup cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until mixture is moistened just enough to form a ball when squeezed. Divide dough into two pieces, form each into a ball, and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
• Place berries and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer berries until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir sugar mixture into berries, return to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until filling is clear, about 2 minutes; stir in lemon juice. Cool filling to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Roll one ball of pastry out on a lightly floured surface to fit an 8-inch pie plate; line pie plate with crust. Pour berry mixture into pie crust; dot with butter. Roll remaining pastry out for top crust, place over filled pie, and crimp edges tightly together.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 35 minutes.

SASKATOON PIE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, simmer saskatoon berries in water for 10 minutes.
• Add lemon juice.
• Stir in granulated sugar mixed with flour.
• Pour into pastry lined pie plate.
• Dot with butter.
• Cover with top crust; seal and flute edges.
• Make slits in the pie crust for air vents.
• Bake in 425F oven for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350F oven and bake 35-45 minutes longer or until golden brown.

SASKATOON (SERVICEBERRY) RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Press two of the pie crusts into the bottom and up the sides of two 8 inch pie plates.
• In a microwave-safe dish, combine the rhubarb and 1/2 cup of sugar. Heat at full power in the microwave until rhubarb is soft and juice is pooling in the bottom of the dish, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain off the juice into a measuring cup and add enough water to make 2 cups. Dissolve the cornstarch in the liquid.
• In a saucepan, stir together the 2 cups of liquid, lemon juice and remaining 1 cup of sugar. Add the saskatoon berries and rhubarb; cook over medium-high heat until thick and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Pour into the two pie crusts. Top with the remaining crusts and cut holes in the top to vent steam. Pinch the edges together to seal.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 30 more minutes.

SASKATOON-RHUBARB CRISP

Steps:

• Place saskatoons and rhubarb in a 9X13 pan.
• Sprinkle the white sugar over berries and drizzle with a little bit of lemon juice. You can now dot with a bit of margarine (1/4 cup) if you wish.

• Bake in a 375 F oven for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve warm with ice cream.
