OT berry picking

DH and I went berry picking yesterday afternoon. Specifically for
saskatoons and we got a couple of buckets. Fresh saskatoon pie is just
fresh out of the overn and smells wonderful. Right beside the saskatoon
bush were wild raspberries. Just enough to eat off the bush. Sooooo good.
Where we were picking berries there is a pincherry bush. Just 1 and should
be ready soon. Hopefully I can get them picked before someone else spies
them. Makes heavenly jelly and pancake syrup

Ann....will be enjoying fresh pie shortly

I have to ask - what is a saskatoon berry? Is it like any other berry? And
a pincherry bush? Sorry - I must live a sheltered life in California

Sorry Pauline, I"m Canadian g and I'm sure you have things in Cal. that I
wouldn't know what they are!!

Saskatoon trees are native to Canada. Very similar to a blueblerry. Did a
bit of surfing and in the US they are also called serviceberries. As for
pincherries, they are similiar to a choke cherry. Small red berries Lots
of pucker power but oh so good after you get past the first few. But then,
same goes for all wild fruit/berries as opposed to their commercialized
counterparts

Ann........who thoroughly enjoyed her hot-out-of-the- oven fresh saskatoon
pie. And who was also out of vanilla ice cream
