Shorter and cooler days marks the end of the huckleberry picking season. We’ve heard a few stories about a few late patches of huckleberries here and there, but I suspect, with the first frosts in some area, they are gone for the year.
So now, what are you gonna do with the huckleberries you have picked and probably frozen for the year?
The most popular use for huckleberries is jam.
We have numerous recipes for Huckleberry Jam and Preserves in our archived posts. Some of the interesting and delicious recipes include:
- Huckleberry Marmalade
- Huckleberry Jelly
- Huckleberry Jam
- Huckleberry Lemon Sauce
- Huckleberry Topping
- Raspberry / Huckleberry Freezer Jam
- Infused Huckleberries
In addition, I found an informative article on picking and making huckleberry preserves:
