Feast Your Eyes!
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of ingredients and instructions, take a look at this delicious Saskatoon Pie that will have everyone drooling:
Ingredients
To whip up this tasty treat, you’ll need:
- 2 cups of fresh Saskatoon berries (or frozen, if you can’t find them)
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of butter (to dot on top)
- Your favorite pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into how to bring this pie to life!
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). We want it nice and warm, just like a sunny day in pie land!
- In a medium bowl, gently toss the berries with the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes. This will allow the flavors to marry, and trust me, they’re going to have a wonderful wedding.
- While your berry mix is mingling, roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Give those edges a nice crimp, like you’re tucking them in for a cozy nap!
- Pour the berry filling into the crust, spreading it evenly. Dot the butter on top of the berries like little golden nuggets to add some richness.
- Now, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can create a lattice top with another layer of pie crust. If not, just throw on another crust and cut some slits for ventilation. Let that pie breathe!
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling like it’s in a magical potion.
- Let it cool for at least an hour. Patience, my friend—this will make slicing infinitely more satisfying.
Slice, serve, and watch as this delightful pie disappears faster than you can say “Saskatoon!” Enjoy this piece of heaven, and make sure to share (or don’t; we won’t judge).
