Saskatoon berry pie (also known as Saskatoon pie, Juneberry pie, or Serviceberry pie) is a pie with Saskatoon berry filling. The pie is a traditional Canadian dessert, particularly in Saskatchewan. Saskatoon berry pie is often served with whipped cream, ice cream, or slices of cheddar cheese.[1][2]
Ingredients[edit]
Saskatoon berry pie typically contains Saskatoon berries, flour, sugar, and lemon juice.[3] Cinnamon or nutmeg may be added.[4]
The pie originated in the Prairies region of Canada. Often served with vanilla ice cream as a dessert, the pie is sometimes made with blueberries as a saskatoon berry substitute.[5][6][7][8]
In Canadian culture[edit]
In 2019, Canada Post released a stamp series called Sweet Canada, which included a stamp of Saskatoon berry pie.[9][10] The stamps were of five traditional Canadian desserts, with the Saskatoon berry pie stamp representing the Prairies.[11]
