I have never heard of a Saskatoon. I see that you can use blueberries -- are they similar?

and the most northern parts of that Country......we are starting to cultivate it in the US...northern parts also......it is a very different berry than what we are used to ......but similiar in its taste.....it isn't really a berry but a pome.....so you can sub blueberries for this recipe and still come out ahead.....and the blueberries were very good this season.....

Now that sounds really good! Although, I might be tempted to substitute orange for the lemon when using cranberries. You guys are making me hungry!
