Garden huckleberry pie is a classic dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This delicious pie is made with fresh garden huckleberries, which are a type of small, tart berry that is native to North America. The berries are cooked with sugar and spices, then poured into a pie crust and baked until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Garden huckleberry pie can be served warm or cold, and it is often topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

HUCKLEBERRY PIE
Nothing is as sweet as the reward of Huckleberry Pie after a good day picking berries. Huckleberries are a wild berry foraged at the beginning to middle of summer and often used to create a pie that screams summer!

FRESH BLUEBERRY PIE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Mix the blueberries, the 1/2 cup of sugar, the flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cassis in a large bowl. Carefully ease one pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch the dough at all, or it will shrink as the pie bakes. With a sharp knife, cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Spoon the blueberry mixture into the pie shell, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure you have all the juices.
- Brush the edge of the crust with the egg wash. Carefully lay the second crust on top, again easing -- not stretching -- it onto the pie. Cut the excess dough off at the edge of the pie plate. Press the two edges together with a dinner fork. Brush the top crust with the eggs wash, cut three slits for steam to escape, and sprinkle with sugar.
- Place the pie on the prepared sheet pan and bake in the middle of the oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is very bubbly and the crust is nicely browned. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.
- Cut the butter in 1/2-inch dice and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the flour mixture. Place the flour, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump out onto a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough in half. Roll each piece on a well-floured board into a circle at least 1 inch larger than the pie pan, rolling from the center to the edge, turning and flouring the dough so it doesnt stick to the board. (You should see bits of butter in the dough.) Fold the dough in half, ease it into the pie pan without stretching at all, and unfold to fit the pan. With a small sharp paring knife, cut the dough 1 inch larger around than the pan. Fold the edge under and crimp the edge with either your fingers or the tines of a fork.

HUCKLEBERRY PIE
I don't know how available Huckleberries are in most areas, I've recently adopted this recipe and intend to make it. Back In Alberta, Canada there was a restaurant that was famous for their Huckleberry Pie. I think this one looks promising.

GARDEN HUCKLEBERRY PIE
The garden huckleberry (Solanum melanocerasum) is not a true relative of the wild huckleberry or blueberry, but is instead a member of the same plant family as potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and peppers. Like other nightshade relatives, the garden huckleberry's foliage should never be eaten. The fully ripe berries, however, are not only edible, but also incredibly delectable. And they're easy to harvest -- no thorns to battle as in picking wild berries. Serve this luscious pie with whipped cream or ice cream. Posted in response to a recipe request.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh garden huckleberries. If you don't have access to fresh huckleberries, you can use frozen or dried huckleberries.
- To make sure your pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and water. You can also use a food processor to make the pie crust.
- Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
