The saskatoons are late this year and there’s not too many, at least around here. They seem to be a fussy berry that needs perfect conditions to flourish.
In some states, I believe they are known as “June berries”? Can anyone confirm that? They are quite a bit smaller than blueberries but tastes similar and can be substituted in any blueberry recipe.
They grow wild around our property. I only picked about a pint so far. It was late and the mosquitoes were starting to get bad. Anyway, I realized I was standing in poison ivy after I took the picture of the pail.

How fun! I can’t confirm the name, as I have not had experience with these berries. They sound delicious! I wouldn’t mind having them growing wild around us! Did you react with the ivy? I hope not!
I don’t think I got poison ivy. I hope not too! I put my pants in the laundry right away.
Hello! It looks like fun. 😀 Do you get poison Ivy. Hope not.
I just looked up about the difference in names of the berries. I think they are called June Berries in different states. 😀
Anyway, what do the berries taste like? What do you do with them?

Hi Naomi! Thankfully, I have never gotten poison ivy. My sons get it every year, though. Hopefully I didn’t get it this time. Have you ever had poison ivy?
Thank you for looking that up. I think they are called June berries because they are ripe in June. Tells you how late they are this year!
I have both blueberries and saskatoons in my fridge right now. Saskatoons taste like the smaller, more tart blueberries.
We like to eat them fresh plain or with ice cream. I also use them in muffins or pancakes, stuff like that.
