Huckleberries

Huckleberries are highly perishable. For longer storage, wash and freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag. They can also be dried or made into jams and preserves.

Huckleberries can be used fresh in salads or as a topping for yogurt and oatmeal.

When baking, huckleberries often don't require as much sugar as other berries due to their natural sweetness.

Gently rinse huckleberries just before using them to avoid making them mushy.
