Huckleberry Preserves

45 min · Serves 3 · 5 ingredients

Small, tart, and worth the picking. Set is judged on a cold plate, not a clock.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 cups huckleberries (or wild blueberries)
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 strip lemon peel
• Pinch of salt

METHOD

1. Combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice and peel in a wide heavy pot and let stand 20 minutes until juicy.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high, stirring, and skim the foam.
3. Cook 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often, until a spoonful set on a cold plate wrinkles when pushed.
4. Fish out the lemon peel, stir in the salt, and ladle into clean jars.
5. Cool completely before sealing. Keeps 3 weeks in the fridge.
