Janet & Susan,
Huckleberries are a wild berry,blueberries are a cultivated species of
berries.The taste is similiar.When
I was a child,huckleberries were a food staple in our home,hence they were free
and plentiful for the
picking.On the downside,you were attacked by a gazillion red bugs.For those who
aren't familiar,red
bugs are microscopic size insects from hades!They make you itch something
fierce.It was a family
affair when it came to "huckleberring".
My mother would cook them with milk and sugar added to the pot.They would then
be poured on a
hot buttermilk biscuit.OOOHHHWEE,it don't get no better than that.
Some uppity,politically correct folks might call it a bilberry,but in my neck
of the woods they are
huckleberries.

Love doesn't make the world go round,
but it does make the ride worthwhile.
