Saskatoons are the target of my recipe testing this week, and let me tell you it's not a bad way to spend the week!
Thanks to Mary and John Heard from Carman for supplying me with saskatoons and recipe ideas for this chapter of the book.
So far Saskatoon Lemon Pound Cake, Saskatoon Biscuits, Saskatoon French Toast Strata, Saskatoon Berry Sauce, Saskatoon Pie, Dehydrated Saskatoons and three saskatoon preserves have made the cut. But there are still more to come!
Here's the biscuits we had first thing this morning. In less than half an hour (mixing and baking time) you too can have these delicious, hot, buttery biscuits.
