A few years back, my husband and I attending (and exhibited) at the North Powder Huckleberry Festival in North Powder, Oregon.
Even thought North Powder is a small town, they had a wonderful parade, celebration and array of huckleberry goodies (you can find some pictures of the North Powder, Oregon Huckleberry Desserts here!).
We had a good time, met lots of nice people and exchanged lots of huckleberry stories and products.
Before we left, we purchased a copy of their cookbook called “Huckleberries on the Trail” (sorry, but it was a few years ago and I could not find any place online where the book is offered for sale).
With the holiday season coming up, I thought I would share their Huckleberry Fudge recipe:
Ingredients
- 4 cups huckleberries
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup nuts
Instructions
- Blend huckleberries, raisins, sugar and cornstarch in blender.
- Add nuts and blend briefly.
- Pour into a heavy skillet and cook down until thick.
- Pour into pan and dry in slow oven until firm enough to cut.
