Last August my sweet daughter took me up to the Mt. Hood National Forest to pick these wonderful berries. The road we traveled off of Hwy 26 was long and very bumpy! After parking the truck we then had to hike four miles into a remote lake where the berries were.We picked for about three hours and barely had enough berries for one pie. However, this did not distract from the experience one bit! As you can see we are enjoying a beautiful huckleberry pie on the second day of March! It was well worth the days' outing!!

Oh my goodness. I'll be right up North to bite into that! It makes my mouth water!
Save a piece for me! It looks wonderful. Will it be as good as my pie???!
I haven't baked a pie for a long time so this was a particular treat! Can't wait until August!
Huckleberries are worth the work they take to get!!
Honestly...the best pie I've ever eaten!!
Willow, your pies are wonderful but so are mine! :))
Our door is open for a visit and I'll fix a pie for both of you!!
(I'm so excited someone wrote!)
Hey, that reminds me... I put up a bag of blueberries last summer...I think I'll go to the freezer and find them... yum!
Huckleberry blue yarn. It sounds gorgeous. Can yo duplicate the shade in watercolor? I'm wondering how I could get it in wool. I'd hate to use real huckleberries! Are they similar/same in color as blueberries?
Your crusts look so good. And you sugared the top! I throw mine together and piece them when they fall apart and they don't look as nice as yours do.
Blueberries are less intense in flavor and color. It wouldn't take many huckleberries to color a couple of pounds of wool. It would be fun to gather all the local berries and see what colors come from them. Just think of the names you could give the colors!! Maybe crayola should hear about this!!
