Lovely. We have this growing as native in our forests, but there is also the larger fruited Canadian Saskatoon version grown commercially. I love especially a fruit pie / cobbler made of these, the seeds give a sophisticated bitter almond flavor (cyanide precursor in them, harmless when eaten in moderate quantities).
Jam is delicious too. But the birds love these - Saskatoon farms have all their trees covered with fine netting and one has to get there inside to pick them :) |
These ones I found are a little smaller than a blueberry, maybe even half the size of a grocery store blueberry. I don't find the seeds offensive, they're not hard, just like a little piece of almond or sunflower seed in your berry.

Well, that was fast work! The jam on toast looks delicious! Wish I had me some of that.
Good job!:yes: |
Lovely! This forum is a great place for information & inspiration.
I'll invite myself to your place for breakfast... |
You are welcome to join me for breakfast, I have plenty of jam!

Another rarely used name for this berry is Shadblow.
I have one small plant in my garden (a Lee #8). It has a few berries this year, which I plan on planting the harvested seed, if the birds don't beat me to them. |
I got berries on my native Amelanchiers for the first time this year! The berries are juicier than my blueberries, but bland. I grew them from 4- inch pots and they are now in 3-gallon pots.
I also have another variety I got at a scion exchange (as tiny seedlings) that is supposed to be much better tasting. |
