Amish Montana Wild Huckleberry Pie
Enjoy this amazing pie. Here is the filling recipe and then follow the rest of the instructions above!
- 4 cups fresh wild huckleberries (or 4½ cups frozen)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Prepare the berries: If using frozen huckleberries, do not thaw completely – they should still have some ice crystals. This helps prevent excess liquid.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Combine with berries: Gently fold the huckleberries into the dry ingredients until evenly coated.
Add lemon juice and vanilla, stirring gently to combine.Let rest: Allow the mixture to sit for 15-20 minutes. This helps the berries release some juice and the thickeners to begin working.
