HUCKLEBERRY PIE



Huckleberry Pie image

From Old-Time Farmhouse Cooking by Barbara Swell. This is a simple recipe, all except the huckleberry part. Huckleberries are little wild blueberries that grow in high mountains and ripen in mid-to-late August. Their flavor is intense and the experience of picking them is even better. If you've ever spent a whole day picking enough berries for just one pie, I don't need to tell you that these berries deserve your most perfect pie crust! No huckleberries? Well, blueberries will work, just add an extra teaspoon of corn starch and please, use fresh ones!

1 1/2 cups sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons tapioca
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind (fresh)
3 tablespoons butter

  • Dot the top of the mixture with 2 or 3 dabs of butter.

  • Once it is correctly positioned you should have a 1" overlap on the top crust so that it can be crimped with the bottom crust.
  • Crimp or pinch the two crusts together and make a decorative edge to seal the two piecrusts.
  • The pie can be refrigerated until you are ready to bake or baked immediately.
  • To bake, preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place the pie on the middle shelf of your oven and bake for 15 minutes then turn the temperature down to 350 degrees and continue baking for 30-40 minutes or until the filling starts to bubble over.
  • Once the pie looks done and the crust is a light golden brown, it should be done.
  • Take it out and let the pie cool on a cooling rack until it is ready to serve.
