How to Make Huckleberry Pie

(For full instructions + ingredient list, scroll to the bottom of this page)

🧈 STEP 1: PREP THE PIE TIN

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a pie tin with a pie crust. Add huckleberries into pie crust.

NOTE: If you don’t have enough huckleberries (4 cups) substitute with blueberries.

🥣 STEP 2: MIX THE FILLING

In a small bowl, mix together 3/4 cups of sugar and flour. Spoon evenly over berries. Sprinkle lemon juice and zest over the top. Then dot with butter.

🤗 STEP 3: ADD THE TOP CRUST

Add top crust, making sure to seal the edges. Gently seal the edges by pressing the crust down with your fingers. Gaps in the crust will result in huckleberry juice creeping out.

🔪 STEP 4: CUT SEAM VENTS

Cut seam vents in the top crust. Brush the top of the pie with heavy cream and sprinkle on 1 teaspoon of sugar. The heavy cream will give the pie a nice golden brown finish.

✨ STEP 5: BAKE THE PIE

Bake pie at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat and bake at 350 for 20 – 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

🥧 STEP 6: COOL THE PIE. EAT THE PIE.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. The pie may be runny when it first comes out of the oven, let it cool for 45 minutes – 1 hour to let it firm up if needed.

Optional: serve with ice cream.
