Allison,
Whet we have growing here is what I have always thought was huckleberries-
not a
bramble at all. The bushes, leaves and fruit are just like blueberries, only
smaller. They're sweet and taste just like blueberries. Since most of the
flavor of blue & huckleberries is in the skin, huckleberries have a lot more
flavor per pint than blueberries.
I was thinking that what someone else described or bought as huckleberries may
be from some other part of the country or a cultivar.
