Saskatoon Berry Pie
A classic Canadian Saskatoon berry pie with a jammy, lightly tart filling beneath a flaky golden crust. Lemon zest and vanilla sharpen the berries’ rich, plum-like flavor without masking their character.

A deep-blue Quebec-inspired pie filled with wild-style blueberries, maple sugar, and a hint of lemon beneath a crisp, buttery pastry lid. The filling is thickened just enough to slice cleanly while keeping the berries juicy.

Wild-style blueberries provide concentrated color and aroma, while maple sugar deepens their flavor without masking their acidity. A modest amount of tapioca starch absorbs excess juice and leaves the filling tender rather than gummy.
Cool the pie completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen, well wrapped, for up to 2 months.
Reheat individual slices in a 160°C oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or serve cold. Do not microwave the whole pie, as the crust will soften.
