There is the blueberry – that plump, gaudy thing lounging about the fruit aisle – and then there is the huckleberry. Trimmer and sweeter than its domesticated cousin, the wild huckleberry lives a life of playful adventure as a denizen of the North American wood. It delights Girl Scouts, nourishes birds; it goes wonderfully in pies and cobblers, and looks great with neutral colors like grey and white, or with bright checked plaids. Wait . . . are we talking berries or pants? It doesn’t matter. You’ll have fun either way. Pack your rucksack and get ready for a hike – we’ll be your huckleberries.
Please wait...
