Saskatoon Berries (foraged) — Frozen (5 lb Bulk Pack)
Saskatoon berries are a true Northwoods classic — a small, dusky purple berry with a flavor that lands somewhere between blueberry, dark cherry, and almond. Gently sweet with a soft nuttiness, they bring an old-world, almost pie-filling richness to both rustic and refined dishes.
These berries are wild-foraged, then cleaned and quickly frozen at peak ripeness to lock in their natural flavor, color, and nutrients. Packed in a 5 lb bulk bag, they’re ideal for serious home bakers and working kitchens looking to feature something a little more interesting (and more complex) than standard blueberries.
In the kitchen, frozen Saskatoon berries cook down to a lush, thick texture with deep, purple-red color. Their natural sweetness and subtle almond-like note make them perfect for pies, crisps, jams, and syrups, as well as breakfast applications and beverage programs. Anywhere you’d use blueberries, Saskatoon berries can step in and bring an extra layer of character.

How to Use Frozen Saskatoon Berries
Use directly from the freezer for smoothies and blended drinks, or thaw gently in the refrigerator or at room temperature for baking and toppings.
For sauces, jams, and compotes:
Add the berries to a saucepan with sugar or honey and a splash of water, citrus, or wine. Simmer until they break down into a thick, glossy mixture. Saskatoon berries naturally cook to a full-bodied, spoonable texture that’s ideal for spreads, fillings, and dessert sauces.
Frozen at peak ripeness, there’s no washing, sorting, or racing the clock on fresh fruit — just scoop, cook, and serve.
