Scandinavian baking is based on fresh seasonal ingredients. So, reflecting on these values, there is nothing more Nordic than a blueberry pie in summer.
As a child growing up in Finland Saana remembers wandering around in the forest picking up blueberries for her small berry-picking basket, just about enough for her mother to bake a tasty blueberry pie – with the same recipe used by Saana’s grandmother. The aroma of the melted butter dough as the pie bakes, combined with the fresh blueberries she had just picked, evokes a blessed childhood memory .
The pastry, still warm from the oven, is one of her greatest temptations – till this day.
