Huckleberry Pie…..Chapter II !

I came upon another recipe for Huckleberry Pie… this one is a Huckleberry CREAM Pie. I couldn’t help myself – I just had to make it.  We had it after supper tonight with Marj and Larry and the vote was almost unanimous…….the cream pie beat out the fruit pie!!!

HUCKLEBERRY CREAM PIE

3/4 cups white sugar

2 1/2 Tablespoons Cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup water

1 cup Huckleberries

Combine in saucepan and bring to a boil, then cook until thick and clear.

2 Tablespoon butter

Add butter.  Cool this mixture.

2 cups Huckleberries

Fold in the berries.  Cool for one hour.

2 cups heavy whipping cream, sweetened and with vanilla

Beat cream till it forms stiff peaks.  Place 1/2 of whipped cream in medium bowl and add one large spoonful (about 1/4 of the berry mixture).  Fold together till mixed well.  Pour this into the bottom of a prepared graham cracker crust.

Top this first layer with the remainder of the cooked berry mixture.

Spread the remainder of the whipped cream over the top.  Chill for at least one hour prior to serving.
