HUCKLEBERRY PIE
From Old-Time Farmhouse Cooking by Barbara Swell. This is a simple recipe, all except the huckleberry part. Huckleberries are little wild blueberries that grow in high mountains and ripen in mid-to-late August. Their flavor is intense and the experience of picking them is even better. If you've ever spent a whole day picking enough berries for just one pie, I don't need to tell you that these berries deserve your most perfect pie crust! No huckleberries? Well, blueberries will work, just add an extra teaspoon of corn starch and please, use fresh ones!

This is the first year of my life that I have tried and eaten huckleberries, and WOW are they ever GOOD!!!! We ordered a bunch from a company out in Washington state and I've been going huckleberry crazy! :D I love blueberries, but these are like blueberries on VIAGRA! Omg...heaven. And they are even better for you than blueberries, too. The recipe I'm sharing today, is for a pie that I made for my hubby after being on a long business trip. I always like to surprise him and welcome him home with something nice! We about DIED over this pie! And funny, it got even better each day, and that last day....OH...MY...GAWD!!! It only lasted 3 days with just the 2 of us eating it! Hope you enjoy, too!! :D First one I ever made, but WON'T be the last!!!!! :D :D (Photo by me of my pie!!) Love you, sweetie!! XXOO! :)

Steps:
- Remove berries from freezer and measure out 5 cups into large bowl. Set aside. Roll out dough for bottom of pie dish and line. (Place pie dough into plate.) Combine, in medium bowl, sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon. Drizzle water over berries, pour flour mixture over and toss to coat. (Not all will stick.) Start pouring berry mixture into pie shell. Add flour mixture from bottom occaisionally, sprinkling over. Keep adding til all berries and flour mixture is into pie shell. Dot top with small dabs of butter evenly. Top with top crust. Fold, rolling, bottom crust and top crust together upwards onto top. Flute edge or use a fork and press. Pierce top with knife to vent. Brush top with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar. As much as you like. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Then 350 for about 35 minutes. My pie didn't ever run over, but just in case, you might want to place a sheet of foil underneath on the rack below during the last 5 minutes. Will save your oven and prevent the smoke detectors from going off! LOL! (Been there had that happen many times with other pies!!) Let cool. Serve rewarmed if preferred with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Can sit on the kitchen counter, covered, or refrigerate. I popped it in the fridge the second day, but could have after it cooled the whole time. It didn't wreck the crust. And it was HEAVEN...definately going to have to make another SOON!!
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:
- Prep the Huckleberries: Before using, sort and clean the huckleberries to remove any debris or unripe berries. Rinse them gently and pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Homemade Pie Crust: If you prefer a store-bought crust, ensure it's of good quality and large enough for a 9-inch pie plate. However, making your own pie crust is recommended for a more authentic and flavorful experience.
- Temperature Matters: Use cold butter and ice water when making the pie crust. This helps create a flaky and tender crust. Additionally, chill the pie dough before rolling it out to prevent it from becoming too soft and sticky.
- Roll Out the Dough: When rolling out the dough, work quickly and avoid overworking it. Use a light touch and roll the dough from the center outward, rotating it as you go. This helps create an even thickness and prevents the dough from shrinking.
- Blind Bake the Crust: Before adding the huckleberry filling, pre-bake the pie crust. This helps prevent a soggy bottom and ensures a crispy crust.
- Sweeten to Taste: The amount of sugar you add to the huckleberry filling depends on the tartness of the berries. Start with a moderate amount and adjust according to your preference.
- Thicken the Filling: If you want a thicker huckleberry filling, consider adding a cornstarch or tapioca starch slurry. This will help create a glossy and spoonable filling.
- Egg Wash: Brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking. This helps create a golden brown and shiny crust.
- Cooling and Serving: Allow the huckleberry pie to cool completely before serving. This helps the filling set and prevents it from becoming runny. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat.
Conclusion:
Huckleberry pie is a delightful dessert that showcases the unique flavor of huckleberries. With its flaky crust, tart-sweet filling, and vibrant color, this pie is a perfect way to celebrate the summer harvest. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe provides detailed instructions and helpful tips to guide you through the process.
