Are these "garden huckleberries"
in the Solanum family http://www.tradewindsfruit.com/garden_huckleberry.htm
or in the Vaccinium family http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium

nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Lori Rizzo This is the first year I’ve grown
garden huckleberries – just picked my first batch, perhaps a bit early,
as they were still somewhat firm; however, they’ve been black for at
least 3-4 weeks and some seemed to be getting dehydrated. Anyway, made a pie, and I will agree with
others that these make a great pie. Taste like a combination of
blueberries and, perhaps, boysenberries? I grew only 2 plants this year, but this
is a plant I might expand upon next year – I’m sure the berries freeze
well, and would love to make syrup of these. Lori Lori Rizzo, RN BSN MBA Health Care Quality
