JUNE BERRIES
Juicy and sweet, these berries delight, Unique flavor with a hint of almond's bite. Native to North America's land, Eaten fresh or dried, both are grand. Baked into pies or made into jam, Enjoyed in wines, a treat for the fam. Rosy bronze leaves in spring's embrace, Rich in nutrients, a healthful grace. Indigenous peoples cherished them so, Essential vitamins they bestow. Saskatoon berries, nature's...
