Cookbook:Huckleberry

Huckleberries are a large group of berries that grow in the United States and Canada. They are closely related to blueberries.

Characteristics
Huckleberries are very similar to blueberries in many respects. They are small and round, and their color varies from red to blue and purple. They can range from tart to sweet in flavor, and some describe them as having a mealy texture.

Procurement and storage
Huckleberries have not been domesticated and are not cultivated on a commercial level. As such, they are very rarely available at grocery stores. Look for them instead at local farmer's markets, or try foraging for them in the wild.

They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, and they will last for months when frozen.

Use
Much like other berries, huckleberries are good for use in preserves, cakes, pancakes, pies, and more.
