Last summer my husband, my mom, and one of her friends went huckleberry picking, it’s a tradition in our family. Thanks to my mom I’ve been huckleberry picking since I was a kid, I enjoy it and have passed this tradition down to our kids.
It’s so nice getting up into the mountains with nature and the peace. Even when it’s a bad year for picking huckleberries, I still enjoy just getting out of town and up into the mountains on a pretty summer day with my family.
This turned out to be a good huckleberry year, my mom’s friend showed us her huckleberry patch and boy were there a lot of huckleberries! We just sat down and started picking, there were so many we didn’t even have to move for a little while.
We ended up with so many berries I’ve been making quite a few things using them, like the Huckleberry Wild Jam or the coconut whipped cream. If you haven’t tried the Huckleberry Coconut Whipped Cream yet, you are missing out!
In our household, we eat a lot of salads, and I don’t know about you but… sometimes both Walt and I get sick of always eating salads. We eat so many salads we sometimes get stuck in a rut, but this huckleberry dressing is such a nice change of taste.
I have even poured this dressing on top of a hamburger patty, it tasted so good! I haven’t tried it on chicken but it would probably taste good on it too.
The nice thing about this dressing is it’s so easy to make and takes hardly any time at all. Less than 5 minutes!
Don’t fill your jar all the way to the top, it likes to separate so leave some room for shaking the bottle up before your next use.
