Purple fingers!
This year we have a healthy harvest of Saskatoon berries. We have spent a few hours each of the past weekends gently shaking loose the ripe berries into metal bowls. The berries are so plump and juicy. We have a few bushes by our vegetable garden but there are also little secret hidden bushes down in the woods by the pond.
We have been giving away the berries to friends who are ambitious and want to make fresh pies and other baked goods. We tucked away a big bag in the freezer for future muffins and waffles. A sweet little burst of fresh berry flavour brings simple recipes to life.
A perfect moment
The best gift of berries that I gave – was to a wonderful friend who not only helped me pick the berries but she sorted and cleaned them – and then best yet she turned them into a delicious Saskatoon crumble that I ate for breakfast (with a fresh coffee and the paper!) Oh yes. Sweet little berries.
