Saskatoon Serviceberry Rhubarb Pie The rhubarb and saskatoon berries give this pie its delicious Saskatoon berry flavor and depth, as well as its rich red color and juiciness. The flavor of this pie is out of this world. Not at all bland. You CAN'T MISS with this pie. When I bring this pie out, everyone begs for more. Enjoy!!

Saskatoon Berry Serviceberry Pie Recipe Saskatoon berries, or serviceberries, are great in pie recipes. These deep-purple berries resemble blueberries, but with a subtle, wild flavor.

Clafoutis with rainier cherries, foraged saskatoons, and almonds.  

My partner and I were late in the season for saskatoons--which we knew, so we didn’t try too hard.  We got about a half-cup for our (low) efforts, which is fine by me.  Thinking this wouldn’t be enough for a clafoutis, I supplemented with rainier cherries.  

Oh boy, the saskatoons like to float!  As the clafoutis puffed up, it really looked like the saskatoons were trying to escape!  

Recipe adapted from Simply Recipes. 

You can underbake it (like I did here) for a delicate, custardy texture.  Or you can turn up the heat and cook it longer for a firmer, more puffed up version (more like a dutch baby or popover).

Saskatoon, Juneberry, Shadbush, Shadblow, Sugarplum, Sarvis, Serviceberry -- these are among the many names for Amelanchier. Ethnobotanists know that the more names a plant has, the greater its cultural importance. The tree is beloved for its fruits, for medicinal use, and for the early froth of flowers that whiten woodland edges at the first hint of spring. Serviceberry is known as a calendar plant, so faithful is it to seasonal weather patterns. Its bloom is a sign that the ground has thawed and that the shad are running upstream -- or at least it was back in the day when rivers were clear and free enough to support their spawning. The derivation of the name “Service” from its relative Sorbus (also in the Rose Family) notwithstanding, the plant does provide myriad goods and services. Not only to humans but to many other citizens. It is a preferred browse of Deer and Moose, a vital source of early pollen for newly emerging insects, and host to a suite of butterfly larvae -- like Tiger Swallowtails, Viceroys, Admirals, and Hairstreaks -- and berry-feasting birds who rely on those calories in breeding season.

In Potawatomi, it is called Bozakmin, which is a superlative: the best of the berries. [...]

For me, the most important part of the word Bozakmin is “min,” the root for “berry.” It appears in our Potawatomi words for Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, even Apple, Maize, and Wild Rice. The revelation in that word is a treasure for me, because it is also the root word for “gift.” [...] When we speak of these not as things or products or commodities, but as gifts, the whole relationship changes. [...] I accept the gift from the bush and then spread that gift with a dish of berries to my neighbor, who makes a pie to share with his friend, who feels so wealthy in food and friendship that he volunteers at the food pantry. You know how it goes.

To name the world as gift is to feel one’s membership in the web of reciprocity.  [...] How we think ripples out to how we behave. If we view these berries, or that coal or forest, as an object, as property, it can be exploited as a commodity in a market economy. We know the consequences of that.

Saskatoon, Juneberry, Shadbush, Shadblow, Sugarplum, Sarvis, Serviceberry—these are among the many names for Amelanchier. Ethnobotanists know that the more names a plant has, the greater its cultural importance. The tree is beloved for its fruits, for medicinal use, and for the early froth of flowers that whiten woodland edges at the first hint of spring. [...]

In Potawatomi, it is called Bozakmin, which is a superlative: the best of the berries. I agree with my ancestors on the rightness of that name. [...]

For me, the most important part of the word Bozakmin is “min,” the root for “berry.” It appears in our Potawatomi words for Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, even Apple, Maize, and Wild Rice. The revelation in that word is a treasure for me, because it is also the root word for “gift.” In naming the plants who shower us with goodness, we recognize that these are gifts from our plant relatives, manifestations of their generosity, care, and creativity. When we speak of these not as things or products or commodities, but as gifts, the whole relationship changes. I can’t help but gaze at them, cupped like jewels in my hand, and breathe out my gratitude.

 In the presence of such gifts, gratitude is the intuitive first response. The gratitude flows toward our plant elders and radiates to the rain, to the sunshine, to the improbability of bushes spangled with morsels of sweetness in a world that can be bitter.

I’ve likely seen many others and just couldn’t identify them, but there are a lot I’ve never seen growing wild. What I’m hoping is that some of the native species I have in my garden will make their way to the nearby ravine. If I get around to it, though, I might just take a walk with some Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed) seeds in the fall. They certainly seem to successfully germinate in my garden whether I want them to or not (don’t have space for them to go crazy). Can’t see why they wouldn’t in a natural swamp area.

Tracking is going well. I didn’t really plan for picking up the pieces and starting again, so I’ve had to immediately play the ‘improvise with what’s in the kitchen’ game.

Fortunately, my favourite yogurt was $3 off when I was picking up veggies the other day, so I got to enjoy fresh berries from my garden today at coffee break. Saskatoon berries today.

When I got home, there were about 8 raspberries that were ripe, so tomorrow I get saskatoons and raspberries. (I wonder what Saskatoon berries are called outside of Canada…rabbit hole…Pacific serviceberry, western serviceberry, alder-leaf shadbush, dwarf shadbush, chuckley pear, or western juneberry or pigeon berry. Now we all know)

It is finally nice out. I think there have been maybe 6 sunny warm days since June began here, and it’s supposed to be ugly hot by the end of this week, but today it was sunny and beautiful. My vacation was mostly miserable weather.

What else? I cut my hair short (for me. It’s still shoulder length), my kids are getting old, and I’ve developed an affection for old lady nightgowns. One of my patients (94 years old) has 2 nighties the same as me. She looks like a prim old lady. I unbutton them a bit and look a bit like an (old) wanton (fat) cover model on a trashy romance novel.

Things I’ve been pondering: I don’t know if I remember how to kiss. I’m tired - the nursing shortage was hard to bear before the pandemic and it’s worse now. I don’t want to socialize but I’m pushing myself to because I find my mental health is better when I do. The pandemic has also ruined alcohol for me. I just don’t feel it’s an expense I need anymore. Just some things.

Me and my NINE YEAR OLD.
