Huckleberry pie | Idaho and Montana

Huckleberries are prevalent throughout the Rocky Mountain region, and are one of the most popular fruits in Idaho and Montana. They’re similar to a blueberry, and range from sweet to tart in flavor. Because huckleberries are so common out West, they appear in all types of sweet treats, including ice cream, jams and, of course, pie.

Like most fruit pies, the process of making a huckleberry pie requires mixing the huckleberries with sugar and a dash of lemon or other citrus fruits to bring out the sweetness of the berries. Some recipes call for tapioca which helps thicken the pie filling after it’s done baking.
