Multi-coloured Saskatoon berries

I always love seeing Saskatoon berries at this stage, where the berries vary in colour. These were photographed in Weaselhead on 18 July 2012. Saskatoon berries are delicious, though perhaps not to everyone's taste. Not far from Calgary, there is the Saskatoon Farm, where they sell plants and also different food items, such as Saskatoon berry pie, that contain these berries. They also have a small restaurant where you can have lunch - I've had their quiche and hashbrowns, which are so good! You can also go and pick your own berries.

"The saskatoon has long been a treasured wild fruit and a prairie tradition, having been a plentiful staple fruit for the prairies for years. It is often compared to the blueberry in terms of the berry's size, texture and flavor with an almondy flavor."
