Huckleberries For my birthday this year, Julie got me 2 gallons of Huckleberries - shipped from Washington state. If you grew up in Western Montana, you probably know what a huckleberry is. Huckleberries are, simply put, one of the best things on the planet. I once heard them nicely described as a cross between a blueberry and a raspberry.

Growing up in Montana, huckleberries were a part of every summer. I used to go picking them with my Mom and Grandma. They hated taking me though since I just ate them, and never picked any. My favorite dessert in the world is huckleberry cheesecake. My favorite breakfast? Huckleberry pancakes.

Julie cooked huckleberry pancakes for breakfast this morning. Life couldn't be any better right now. :-D Posted in General at Jul 22 2004, 09:01:49 AM MDT 7 Comments

Those suckers are pretty good. I spent the last 12 months or so in Portland, OR and the local farmer's markets are overflowing with all kinds of fruit this time of year. I think you should cultivate an image as the Huckleberry Finn of web apps ;) CP

Damn, now I'm dreaming about huckleberry-chocolate bars from a Washington trip.

Well, the best huckleberry feast I've ever had was last year, while trekking in the Beskid Zywiecki mtns. in southern Poland- exactly along the Slovakian border.- they were extremely ripe and abundant. Must I add I'm planning to go there early in September this year? BTW, has anyone of you tried huckleberry wine?

Huckleberry wine - never tried it, but it sure sounds good!

You want some huckleberries, Im from washington where the huckleberries are thick and plentiful. I actually buy and sell huckleberries during the summers at my parents store. Right now we have 2000 lbs. that need a good home. We can deliver almost anywhere in wa and or, or ship them to you anywhere in the country. If you are interested please call 509-395-2777 or email me at alisaheberling@yahoo.com

I'd like to buy them in bulk. Can you send me 1 gallon of huckleberries (the big fat Montana-style ones) per month for the rest of my life? I'm serious! ;-)
