While its not the same as FRESH Huckleberries, this pie filling in a jar does fill a 9 inch pie, and produces a wonderful, genuine Huckleberry flavor and color that was quite close to the "real thing", i.e. making it directly from fresh or frozen berries. The pectin set nicely and the filling after backing was both moist and firm, not runny. While the berries were mostly crushed in the pectin, there were berries, round with skin on, that could be detected by sight and on the tounge. The result was a sweet and moist pie filling that was great. I asked people what they thought, and they said it was "SWEET." Though each modest size piece of pie is a $4 cost (just for the filling!), I plan to buy again!

We were first introduced to huckleberry products while vacationing at Glacier National Park. One of the most enjoyable things we ate while there was a fresh huckleberry pie. So I ordered this pie filling to make our own pie here in Colorado. The pie turned out great retaining that unique "huckleberry taste" we remembered from Montana. Using this pie filling rather than frozen or fresh huckleberries avoids a big problem many people encounter and that is huckleberries are so juicy they can soak through and saturate the pie crust and many people have reported the pie can turn into mush. Treat yourself to this very unique pie filling, you WILL NOT be disappointed.

Looking for Huckleberries in Arizona is difficult, but they arrived in time and were wonderful.
