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!

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! ๐คฃ
Maybe a pomegranate would be a gigashad? ๐ค
