This recipe is amazing! I used 3 cups of huckleberries instead of 4. Also, I find it helpful to use 6 tablespoons if cornstarch and substitute 4 tablespoons of flour for the tapioca. If you want the pie tart, use a 2/3 cup of sugar. This is the best huckleberry pie recipe on the internet!

Although this recipe claims to be Northwest "blue" huckleberries, the photo of the finished pie slice shows - not huckleberries - but blueberries! Blueberries are not huckleberries! Google "picture of Huckleberries" to see the difference. Blueberries are larger and have a star-burst bottom and look nothing like huckleberries.

This is a delicious recipe and it is not runny. I would change the cup and a ½ of sugar to one and a quarter cups for myself. Two thumbs up on this recipe. Kelcy July 21 2015 ?
