The wild Huckleberry is the most ambrosia-like of all berries, with a tastebud bursting robust flavor, somewhat tart, quite rare, and never to be mistaken for the more common blueberry. Indeed, the delicacy is so extraordinary that Mark Twain named his most famous character after it. And why not? People who know about wild Huckleberries tend to be very passionate about them. Evocative of summer sunlight, mountainsides, mysterious woods, and images of children berry hunting. The huckleberry bushes' small oval leaves, the blue-black berries, perfectly round, each with an intense flavor, a unique tartness and crunch.

This uncultivated cousin of the blueberry, grows only in the wild at elevations of 4,000 to 6,000 feet. Twelve species of huckleberries are native to Washington and Oregon. They also grow wild in the Rocky Mountains. However varied the berry, the season is short: late July through mid-September. Because they are hard to find, they tend to be expensive. But huckleberry lovers swoon over the thick skin and wild flavor that no other berry captures as well. As far as I am concerned, these berries, food of the god's, are worth every penny.

Huckleberry Haven's Wild Huckleberry Jam perfectly captures the pure, natural taste of this most elite of berries. Buy one jar and you will be back to buy an entire case. I spread the jam on toast, muffins, scones, French Toast, occasionally even on pancakes - much better than syrup, and as another reviewer wrote, this is the best jam to accompany peanut butter. I hope you try this product. I always have a jar in the fridge. ENJOY!!

For those who enjoy a rich spread for toast, crumpets, English muffins, etc. this huckleberry medley is what you're looking for.

Ripe, fresh berries abound in these preserves which makes a more than satisfying complement to any breakfast menu.

It's a treat to find a product that hasn't been "watered down" to please everyone's taste.

For years we used grape and strawberry jam, then a friend gave us a small gift set from Montana. My wife loved it so much we became regular users.

This is an excellent product. Tastes exactly the way it should. If you want your huckleberry fix, this is the thing to get.

This jam highlights the whole huckleberries, and is not too sweet. It is a real treat for those of us who have lost local huckleberry bushes to development or who no longer have the time to collect them. The jam brings back flavors that we thought were long gone. A lovely bit of nostalfia for Christmas!

The Wild Huckleberry Jam is wonderful. It tastes just like huckleberries; therefore, I have really enoyed it. I will definitely purchase it again.

My mom is 82 years old and she has been telling me stories about how her father used to make huckleberry pies and how great they were. I wanted to give her a treat, so I Googled, Huckleberry, and found the company selling on Amazon. I called out to the store itself and spoke with a very friendly young lady named Krista. I wound up ordering their pie filling.
I first surprised my mom with the jam and she loved it! Then I baked the pie and she said it was like her father's. I think she was being kind because the crust wasnt very good.
I would definitely recommend this product.

This Jam is amazing, great flavor...great texture and spreads well on anything.
Might I suggest to put it in some vanilla ice cream for your very own Huckleberry Ice cream...

Definitely recommend this product...now only if i bought more....

This company delivered in a reasonable amount of time and the jam was very tasty. I would recommend them.

My son and I both love this jam, but at $12 per jar, we will not be eating this too often. It's fresh fruit flavor is wonderful, and I think huckleberries are also very nutritious.
