In case you missed it...Co-op has their GOLD label premium ice-cream on
sale this week at $3.99 for the 1.5 litre container. The Saskatoon Berry
flavored ice-cream is quite good. I don't remember seeing it before.
It has a subtle flavor and would go good with a plain sponge cake or
even shortbread. Saskatoons grow in most of North America but in the
USA they are known as "service berries". Saskatoon berries sounds more
exotic as is befitting for these great native berries.

Thanks! There is a café in Bragg Creek, or at least there used to be before
the June floods, that served a saskatoon-sour cream pie that was worth the
trip!

This is the first time I've heard of either Saskatoon or service
berries, but I bet that method would work with other berries. I might
even get hubby to eat blueberry pie if I made one that way.

Blue berries would be a good alternative. Make a custard from sour cream,
eggs, and sugar and pour over the berries that are in a sweet pastry shell.
