A beer before bed on a Europe trip. The only thing I could read on the can was Vienna Lager.

Todays harvest

It’s huckleberry season here in Montana (in the mountainous, western part of the state). Huckleberries are very close cousins to lingonberries. In the tourist towns around Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks there are, literally, dozens of shops selling huckleberry products. Jams, jellies, syrups, bakeries and restaurants offer huckleberry pies, and, of course, the most important part-huckleberry themed merchandise. Huckleberries are quite a cottage industry in those areas.

Do you guys use them as a side for any dishes? We eat meatballs with peas, mashed potatoes, cream gravy and lingonberry jam (homemade, the store bought garbage is way to sweet).

Some of the older Swedish families do. My maternal grandmother’s family were Swedes and they used huckleberries (when they could get them) in recipes that would have used lingonberries. When I was a kid (50-60 years ago) the Lutheran churches had annual fund raising dinners. The congregations were pretty evenly divided between Norwegians and Swedes, so these affairs always featured lutefisk for the Norwegians and meatballs for the Swedes. There was always a dish of jam on the tables but it was whatever was available. This area is a couple hundred miles from the mountains where huckleberries grow wild so products made from those berries aren’t as common.

HEIC is an iOS picture file, likely from your iphone. Lots of applications have trouble with it. iOS doesn't always play well with others.
