I think I can find them now…thanks for the clues! What a fun day!

I sealed my berries and put in the freezer. I think I’m going to save them to make Tom’s roasted duck with huckleberry sauce and parsnip hash when the winter cold strikes, er, looking outside, it’s stricken—maybe sooner rather than later.

We have a few huckleberry plants in our landscape with ripe berries I need to pick, likely all of a 1/2 cup full. In 5 years, they’ll be nice and hearty and will only have to brave a few small steps to forage them with the La Pavoni close by when my tootsies get cold.
