    40m

  • Ready In

    90m

  • 4-6 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Solstice Berry Farm Saskatoons (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • Pastry for 9” two crust pie

Directions

    Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

  • 1.

    Place the saskatoons in a pot, add water, bring to a boil, turn off heat and steam for 5 minutes. Steaming helps to soften the skin of the fruit.

  • 2.

    Add lemon juice, sugar and flour and stir well.

  • 3.

    Line deep pie plate with 1/2 of the pastry and pour the filling in.

  • 4.

    Dot the filling with the butter and cover the pie plate with other 1/2 of pastry. Using a sharp knife, make holes in the top of the pastry to release steam.

  • 5.

    Place on cookie sheet (to catch any drips and to brown bottom of pastry) and put into 450°F oven for 10 minutes.

  • 6.

    Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake another 20-30 minutes depending on your oven.

Footnotes

  • Cook's Note:

    This 9” pie is best prepared in a deep dish pie plate. The filling is quite bubbly so if you wish to use a regular 9” foil pie plate we suggest you cut back this recipe to 3 cups of saskatoons and adjust the other ingredients accordingly.
