Description
I love picking Saskatoon’s in the large rolling hills of southwestern Alberta. The down side is I have to compete with the bears. So I pack up my dogs for the alarm system, my son for company and a picnic lunch and we are gone for about five hours. Enough time to fill up a couple 5-gallon buckets.
Ingredients
- 2 Unbaked Crusts For A 10″ Pie
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- ¼ cups All-purpose Flour
- 5 cups Saskatoons
- 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Melted Butter
- 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Roll out one of the pieces of pastry on a lightly floured surface (remember to roll from the centre out to make a nice thin pastry). Line a 10″ glass pie plate with the pastry. Roll out the second section of pastry and keep aside.
In a large bowl stir the first amount of sugar, flour, berries, and lemon juice. Let it stand a few minutes before pouring into the pie shell.
Dampen pastry edges and cover with the second crust. Trim and crimp with your fingers to seal the edges. Cut vents in the top pastry. Brush top with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Bake on the bottom shelf of the heated oven for about 45 minutes or until nicely browned. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream! Yummy!
