What is huckleberry pie?

Huckleberry pie: A pie filled with fresh huckleberry fruit, which are dark blue or purple in color and slightly smaller than blueberries. Huckleberries are more common in the western US and Canada, and the tart flavor of huckleberries pairs well with sweet and flaky pie crust. The pies are often made with a mixture of sugar and a thickener such as flour or cornstarch. Some variations include adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Huckleberry pies can be single crust or double crust, and are often served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
