Description

The listing, Garden Huckleberry--50 Fresh Seeds has ended.

I realize that the word "huckleberry" immediately conjurs up thoughts of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer book. As to more recent times, I think of Val Kilmer's role as Doc Holiday in the movie "Tombstone" muttering "I'm your huckleberry"...Well, that's a bit beside the matter at hand...sorry.
Often confused with the blueberry due to its close resemblance, huckleberries are a wild blue-black berry. Although very similar in taste, the big difference is the seeds within the huckleberry that give it a crunchy texture when fresh and its thicker skin. The flavor is a little more tart than blueberries, with an intense blueberry flavor. Huckleberries are not cultivated commercially, so you will have to find them in the wild. The entire fruit is edible...no need to remove the seeds. Huckleberries can be used interchangeably in most blueberry recipes, so if you find yourself with a huckleberry harvest, just choose a blueberry recipe and give it a whirl. Huckleberry season is normally from June through August. To harvest a large quantity, spread a clean cloth on the ground and shake the plant; ripe fruits will drop onto the cloth. Store at temperatures just above freezing with high humidity.
A side note; They are best cooked down with some sugar added rather than eaten fresh, so please do not be disturbed by a lack of tastiness when you pluck one in the garden and plop it into your waiting mouth.
