By the co-author of our Guides for the Prairie Gardener series, Sheryl Normandeau Recipes for the lesser-known prairie berries: sea buckthorn, haskap, saskatoons, currants, sour cherries, and chokecherries, all of which have been gaining popularity in prairie gardens (which Sheryl would know, as a master gardener), and of course there's those who love to forage for these berries every year. 65 recipes for everything from meat, poultry, fish, vegetable and grain, desserts, baked goods, beverages, and preserves--these are practical, tasty, and simple recipes to use them in, especially for home cooks with tight budgets and busy schedules Because these berries have traditionally been found more in the "wild" than in the garden, there are very few recipes specifically for these types of berries Includes dietary guide and substitutions for gluten-free, nut-free, vegetarian, vegan and dairy free alternatives. Includes instructions for how to make and process jams and jellies, tips for storing and drying berries, and guidelines for successful foraging. No photography, 60+ linocut illustrations based on amateur photos of each recipe Includes instructions for how to make and process jams and jellies, tips for storing and drying berries, and guidelines for successful foraging Saskatoons grow from Alaska to Maine and that in the northern lower peninsula of Michigan there are currently over 20 commercial growers. (Credit: Saskatoon Berry Institute of North America) All of these berries would also grow in the states that have similar climates to the Canadian prairies (growing zones 2, 3, and 4), so these would have the same regional interest as our gardening guides in Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, Michigan, and into Alaska.
