Have I mentioned how much I love huckleberries? It was such a treat when we moved here. Being a So Cal native I had never had one before our transplant here to North Idaho. Oh man- no wonder everyone here won’t share their picking spots. They are so amazing. I decided that before the big bag I picked up was gone I had to try making some into jam. Homemade jam is something I truly enjoy having in the house. I can’t remember the last time we bought jam from the store. It must be years now. I love the whole process from start to finish. It’s one of those things – I can’t explain it. But you know what?? This Huckleberry Jam is probably my most favorite flavor to date.
If you have the opportunity to get your hands on some huckleberries – this is THE recipe to use them in. YUUUUMMM!
Now to make some crusty bread to have it on some toast.
