  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup of sugar
  • 1/4 cup of minute tapioca or flour

    Method:
    Exact proportions of fruit vary with juiciness of the saskatoons and personal preference regarding sweetness and thickness of filling.

    Place berries, water and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer about 10 minutes. (Do not boil! May also use microwave to cook berries). Add sugar and tapioca. Arrange mixture in unbaked pie shell.
