Red Huckleberries are tart enough for fine Pie's or Jellies.
 The little white worms or maggots inside each berry are easy to get out if you soak them in a bucket of cold water for a few hours. Seems the little critters crawl out starved for oxygen and then they go for a swim. :yike:
We have learned the best way to make Jelly without the seeds, is to run our Black, Red or Blue berries through our "Electric Juicer". The seeds go one way and the "Jelly Juice" comes out the other, Super Fast compared to the old methods and you have a lot of juice in no time. :tup: Doug

Say what?  :puke:

We’re going this weekend. We’ve been checking every weekend as last year we got our first gallon on July 10th but this year they weren’t quite ripe yet.
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

Bring this topic back to life.....
So went up yesterday and today .
I'm glad we did ,berrys look like there not gonna last long if we don't get some rain on the east side.
So unless we come across the mother patch we are done for the year.
Basically one ice cream pal yesterday and one today.

It looks like some are gonna dry up quick in this heat.
Some of the green ones I will be surprised if they get ripe in this constant heat.
Thinking there is gonna be a very narrow window this year on the dry side.

:yeah:
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

Good thing we stocked up and picked several gallons last year, because about all of our dryside spots are looking to have a short window, if any, with this hot weather and dry spring.

 :yeah:
Agree
If we got rain this week ,some high elevation patches might pop a few more berry. But with current conditions I would say mtnmuley is spot on.
Not sure how it will effect bear season. With berry drying up in August. :dunno:

Same here. I probably have 3 gallons left from last year. There is no way I’m going to make it to my spot in Idaho or even over here this year.
