Saskatoons are a berry found in the British Columbia prairies, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. They resemble a blueberry in looks but can be very nutty and cherry-like in flavour. This pie is a family favourite.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

I've tried this recipe a few times, and I've found that it's important to use fresh Saskatoon berries. Frozen berries just don't have the same flavor.
