Found some serviceberries up in the mountains of Utah last August, and used them to make a delicious cobbler!
I posted this back then, but the post got deleted when the other community mysteriously dissappeared.
Here’s some more pics!

Woah what a nice and big find! Bet that cake was good! 😋
It was really good! I ended up freezing a few pieces and enjoying it again a few weeks later
Hell yeah :) Never tried those berries before, what do they taste like?
They taste like blueberries, pretty much! Only blueberries won’t grow in Utah and serviceberries will. So it’s a welcome substitute!
What a weird name though. Did you thank them for their service?
I did, actually! I love that joke, haha!
They go by a few names: serviceberries, juneberries, Saskatoon berries, and I think shadberries. I call them serviceberries because I picked them in August, not June, and I’m nowhere near Saskatoon. Also not sure what shad means, so yeah, serviceberries it is!
They’re the shads of the berry world. And if you find a particularly big one, it’s a gigashad.
Lol! 🤣
Maybe a pomegranate would be a gigashad? 🤔
Very cool. I love serviceberries but never had enough for more than a snack.
There were tons along the trail I was walking. Got really lucky!
Funny enough, I was actually looking for thimbleberries up there originally, but saw so many serviceberries that I had to come back to get some. I did eventually find the thimbleberries as well, but there wasn’t nearly enough to do anything with them besides eat the berries.
