A small fruit resembling a purplish blueberry, the serviceberry, also known as the Saskatoon berry, was consumed in large quantities by Indigenous peoples and remained a staple in Quebec households until the 1960s. Today, the serviceberry shrub is making a comeback in our gardens, appreciated for its ornamental qualities and early blooms, as well as on our tables! Juicy and naturally sweet, Saskatoon berries appeal to all tastes thanks to their subtle almond and red berry notes.
Although Saskatoon berry jam is a natural choice for breakfast, it might surprise you in unexpected dishes!
- On toast or croissants for breakfast
- As a sauce for ribs
- Added to slow-cooked meats or roast drippings
