Canned Saskatoon Berries

Step 1

Clean Saskatoon berries, removing all leaves, stems, or blemished berries.

Step 2

Sterilize jars, rims, and lids.

Step 3

In a separate pot, combine water and sugar. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the water has boiled for 1 minute.

Step 4

Add cleaned Saskatoon berries to hot, sterilized jars, filling to the bottom of the rim.

Step 5

Fill jars with very hot water and sugar mixture, leaving 1/2 inch or 1 centimeter headspace. Seal with rims and lids.

Step 6

Transfer to the boiling water bath and boil for 10 minutes.

Step 7

Remove and let sit for 24 hours. Put any jars that don't seal in the fridge for immediate use.
