Saskatoon Berry Crisp
"My home was on a farm in rural Alberta, near Paradise Valley. One of my fondest memories of summer holidays was picking and eating wild Saskatoon berries. Our river pasture had many tall Saskatoon bushes so we often picked them on horseback. When I moved to Ontario, my special Aunt Millie would pick Saskatoons and have a frozen Saskatoon pie ready for me whenever I visited her in Calgary. It was a true labour of love and a wonderful gift to me." ~Linda Reasbeck, PHEc. Recipe reprinted with permission from Homegrown by Mairlyn Smith, PHEc. Photography courtesy of Shel Zolkewich.
