📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Saskatoon berries are small purple fruits that grow wild on Canada's plains and have long been eaten by Indigenous peoples. They resemble blueberries but have an almond-like aroma. The city of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan is named after them, and these pies line the tables at summer farm fairs.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a summer farm fair in Saskatchewan, rows of purple pies under a tent are sliced and handed out with vanilla ice cream.
