Saskatchewan; the province full of Canadian Pride.
Ever since being recognized as a province on September 1st, 1905, Saskatchewan has remained a province that contributes significantly towards the county's economy, and provides Canada with what we enjoy the most; fresh berries. Reflecting upon this fact, our group had decided to create a dish which potentially represents the fresh berries of Saskatchewan, which had later been decided to be a three-berry filled pie. Initially, it had been the ambition of our group to be able utilize Saskatoon berries for our pie. The plant, however - which can grow up to fifteen feet tall - is solely found in Saskatchewan, and could not have been utilized for the pie. Therefore, as a substitution for the Saskatoon berries, our group had decided to utilize strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries, which are all also grown and found in Saskatchewan. Our ambition of adding the blackberries within the pie had been for two particular reasons; the initial reason had been for a similar substitute to a berry known as the Haskap berry. Over several years, the Haskap berry has begun replacing the Saskatoon berry in Saskatchewan, as well s is somewhat similar to a blackberry. Secondly, our group had anticipated in adding a tarted flavor within the pie, as the strawberries and blueberries would seemingly become overpowering. Therefore, we had chosen to add such berries within the pie. However, along side within the Pie, our group had also decided to create a deconstructed parfait, with a granola topping. With Saskatchewan harvesting 1430 000.00 acres of oats on an annual basis, Saskatchewan has become one of the most prominent agricultural basis in the country. Therefore, inn order to show the importance of agriculture within Saskatchewan, our group had decided to potentially create a small deconstructed parfait, with light topping of granola. Besides, ice cream is an excellent side dish for a warm pie!
The ingredients essential for the Saskatchewan inspired wondrous three berry pie, and Saskatchewan inspired deconstructed parfait;
Saskatoon inspired wondrous Three-Berry Pie Recipe;
Ingredients required for the pie:
• Three-Berry Pie filling
• 1 cup fresh strawberries; cut into halved pieces
• Two cups of fresh blackberries
• 1 ½ cups of fresh blueberries
• 2/3 cup of white sugar
• ¼ cup of cornstarch
• Small dotted portions of butter (fingertip size. Optional.)
• Pie Crust (Ready made. Homemade pie crust may be utilized if preferable. For our individual pie, we had purchased ready made frozen crust due to time restrictions.)
Saskatchewan inspired deconstructed Parfait;
Ingredients:
• Two standard ice-cream scoops of vanilla ice-cream
• Half a chocolate bar. (Hershey’s original chocolate is a preferable choice.)
• Blueberries (Proportional to ice-cream scoop sizes.)
• Halved Strawberries (No more than five slices)
• Two complete blackberry pieces.
• Granola or peanuts. (Any other forms of nuts are adequate.)
Instructions as to how to create the pie!
1. Allow the frozen pie crust to thaw, untouched, for approximately fifteen minutes. As the pie crust is being thawed, it would be time efficient to create the berry mixture, as it also requires to remain untouched for fifteen minutes.
2. Once the pie crust has thawed, remove the first seal upon the pie. Upon doing so, place the crust within a pie pan, and allow the berry mixture to completely coat. During this time, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
3. Once the berry mixture has been created, gently pour the berry mixture into the pie crust. However, before this, if desired, sprinkle the cornstarch and sugar mixture utilized for the Three-Berry filling upon the bottom of the pie crust.
4. Once the pie crust has been filled, utilize the second layering of pie crust to cover the initial pie crust if desired. However, before applying the second lattice layer, apply small dots of butter upon the mixture. Cut approximately seven lines of the second layer leaving strips.
5. Begin alternating the strips; one going upon the other, only to go under the upcoming piece. It is similar to weaving a cloth, with the strip going under and over another strip.
6. Leave ½ inch of the covering pie crust layer over the edge of the pie. Fold the top layer under the bottom crust, sealing the layers while doing so. Pinch the sealed sections of the layers in order to create a design for the pie.
7. Bake the pie in the oven for 25 minutes. After the twenty five minutes, remove the foil.
Bake the pie for an additional twenty to thirty minuets, or unless the pie crust has turned a golden brown, and the filling has begun bubbling.
What about the deconstructed Parfait?
1. Upon the plate in which the piece of pie will be placed; place two scoops of ice cream side by side, or upon one another.
2. Place a layer of granola or peanuts upon the ice-cream scoop. Place the ice-cream within the refrigerator, as the ice-cream may melt as the following steps are being pursued.
3. Obtain the half chocolate bar from its wrapper, and melt it in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds. After the thirty seconds, stir the chocolate, and heat the chocolate for another twenty seconds. Continue these steps until the chocolate has been completely melted.
4. Once the chocolate has been thoroughly melted, obtain the ice-cream from the refrigerator, and drizzle the chocolate upon the granola pieces. Soon after this step has been completed, place the berries upon the drizzled chocolate granola.
Considering the success of our Pie, we believe that we have created a dish that adequately represents the province Saskatchewan. Not only does the Three-berry Pie filling satisfy the craving of fresh Berries from the prairies, however, the soft pie crust and deconstructed Parfait are an additional bonus that serves the purpose of our dish; to represent Saskatchewan.
