Rick came up with the ideal container for picking huckleberries. It's a box with a belt looped through it. I hook it around my waist and then I have both hands for some serious picking!
To forage for one's own food is a joy. We particularly enjoy these berries in sourdough pancakes. Brunch, anyone?

They make a great crisp along with fresh pears!
4 to 5 pear halves
1/5 to 2 cups of huckleberries
Spread pears and huckleberries in a baking dish.
1 cup of flour
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of oatmeal
1/2 stick of butter, melted.
Blend the above 4 ingredients, then spread on top of pears and huckleberries.
Add a dash of cinnamon to taste. Bake at 350 until everything start bubbling and the crisp starts to brown (30 to 40 minutes).
Great with ice cream. Dogs love it, too.
Sounds great! But you better keep your golden away from it. I've heard goldens have a sweet tooth! There will be none leftover for you.
Have you noticed that Goldens can take a severe berating without breaking a smile?
Yessss! Now that you mention it!
Wow! I remember these berries as a kid. Where can one pick them here?
2014 isn't a very good year for huckleberries but there are some areas that are bearing fruit. The further north you go, apparently, there are more berries. You will just have to look for bushes, perhaps in state or regional parks. Good luck!
