Yes I did DeerHunter53. We make the jam and usually don't make pie anymore. I go through the jam fast enough. We use the reduced sugar Sure Jell and the jam has the perfect sweet and tart flavor to it. It is perfect on breakfast products and unreal topped on Vanilla Ice Cream.
We made some Strawberry freezer jam this summer with very good strawberries and it might be even better than Huckleberry.

I really like strawberrys. Even raised them once, but they weren't very good. I told the guy in the gardening department that they didn't have the flavor they should. He suggested putting fertilizer on them. So I tried it, but the berries tasted terrible. I went back to using sugar.

Until you get strawberries that are top of the line. I was that way too. But this jam is incomparable.

There's a place called the Bison Inn near the Moise Bison Range in Ravalli, MT. I started taking photos at the Range & eating at the restaurant in the early 1980s. They specialize in bison burgers & huckleberry shakes & pies. I never tried the shakes but often had a slice of pie with vanilla ice cream.
Hmmm, did my little fertilizer 'tale' perhaps get lost while flying overhead??

Nope, I thought that dry fertilizer might do something such as quick growth and less flavor. I saw it could be otherwise...??There's a place called the Bison Inn near the Moise Bison Range in Ravalli, MT. I started taking photos at the Range & eating at the restaurant in the early 1980s.

Yup. Putting fertilizer on my breakfast cereal wasn't flavorful at all.

Never been to Ravalli. I have to look it up now. Im close to parts of Montana. I've never been to Flathead, Glacier etc. I suppose I will die or not be able to afford Biden gas by then. ?
