I used wild Saskatoon Berries and liked the taste of this pie with these ingredients. The instructions were easy to follow, but the next time I make this I will add an additional 1-cup of berries plus 1/8-cup of sugar to the 9-inch pie as it was rather flat. After pre-cooking the berries for 10 minutes I thought there was too much juice, so I drained off about half a cup of this juice before filling the pie, and used this as a sauce over the ice cream when served. The sauce was good but a bit floury, so I'll try 1-1/2 tb of corn starch the next time around to replace the 3 tb flour as a thickener. Also, prior to baking I brushed the top crust with 10% cream milk and added a sprinkling of fine sugar to improve the taste and appearance of the pastry. (I used Berry Sugar; it’s more expensive but I only use it for things like this).
