Time to bake pie with the traditional Saskatoon berries! The kids are making the maple leave cut-outs for school's flag day. There's so much of the red-and-white themes going around in the neighborhood parties and displays at the farmer's market. I love it when people become so worked up over the national holiday.
I got my berries fresh, tasty and sweet - I kept the crust flaky enough. By the time kids got back from Aunt Twiggy's the first pie had disappeared off my counter in seconds. Couldn't be more happy :)

I stocked up on the preserves and berry-filled marmalades as early as May, I was experimenting on my pie crusts and making sure everything I needed is in the pantry. I shudder at the thought of an empty pantry and the long drive to the supermarket considering the weather, it's not worth stressing over errands.
Yes, Canada day is never complete without the parades!
