The small fruit resembling a purplish blueberry, the saskatoon berry, also known as serviceberry and Juneberry, was consumed in large quantities by Indigenous peoples and had a place of choice in Canadian meals until the 1960s. Today, the saskatoon is making a comeback in our gardens for its ornamental qualities and early blooming, but also in our cuisine! Juicy and naturally sweet, the saskatoon captivates every palate with its slight taste of almonds and red fruits.
