Dawn, the huckleberry chocolates sound great, maybe someday.....
Lorchen, I can't believe that you can make jelly out of fireweed flowers! I have fireweed in my garden which is very hard to get rid of, I would be delighted to turn it into jelly. I make all my own jams/jellies and syrups and I would love a receipe for fireweed jelly. If anybody has a receipe I would love it. I tried to google it but nothing of use came up. Rita.

Rita, try this one: http://alaskaoutdoorjournal.com/Depa...weedjelly.html
I've looked everywhere for my old recipe (we lived in Anchorage in the 70s!) but couldn't find it. I found this one through ask.com

Interesting to find out that fireweed is rosebay willow herb, I've always liked it to look at, and next year if I can find a stand of it not too close to the road I might try making some.

Originally posted by PosyPJust looked at the recipe, and wondered whether you could substitute the pectin & water with stewed & strained apple pulp? is the flavour of the flowers strong enough to take it?
Margo, thanks for the recipe. Maybe your recipe is with Rosemary's Taylor's thimble! :lol:

Jam sugar has the pectin already in it, so yes you could substitute in the jam sugar for the pectin & sugar in the recipe. I was thinking of the apples because they are another source of pectin.
I you are using apples you don't actually need to use the flesh, but if you take the peelings & cores, (after making a pie :wink: ), put them in a pan, cover with water & boil, then strain, this liquid makes an excellent jelly/glaze, particularly if you are making a Normandy style apple tart.

Dawn, I checked out the website you suggested for huckleberry lip balm but didn't find the kind of candy you brought to dinner. Where did you buy the candy? I'd like to order some of it because it was delicious and I'd like to share it with some of my local quilting sisters!
We've gone huckleberry picking many years ago across the Willamette River (ooops! across the Columbia River!) to Washington State and picked wild huckleberries with friends who owned property there. I can understand why they are expensive because they are mostly found in the wild and they are so small it's takes a while to pick enough for a pie.

Oh my! I think I got myself in a pickle, I mean a huckleberry. I did give a lot of different gifts to a lot of different people. The lip balm DID come from The Huckleberry People (and they also have the chocolate cordials). I will have to check the company names of the "jelly bean type" candies AND the chocolate cordials the next time I go to town. Just about every store carries Huckleberry products, and now there is a HUGE specialty section in the center isle of the mall ( I use the term MALL loosely here!) Give me a few days, and I'll give you the exact company names and web sites. Another company is http://www.montanamadeonline.com.
Romira, Kalispell is actually where I go "to town" to shop. It is about 7 miles from me. There is nothing here in Somers except an Ace Hardware store, a post office, and a bar and grill.

Okay, here is the scoop, from Scoopie! The candy I brought to Houston that some of you got is a chocolate cordial. The brand I bought can be ordered online at http://www.montanamadeonline.com. I bought the little 9 pack crate, and broke it up to share amoungst you. Just click on Huckleberry Products, scroll down under Highlights and click on Chocolate Cordials. It is SKU # HC-09. I also buy from the Huckleberry People, but the trick for online shopping is to leave out "THE!" it is just http://www.huckleberrypeople.com. If you go there, click on Gourmet Chocolate, then on Hallicks (what the heck is a Hallick?) and you will find other cordials. But, the cool thing is THEY have the Flathead CHERRY cordials. I live on Flathead lake, in cherry country, and gave a lot of you a FQ of cherry fabric, to commenerate this.
Now, some of you got huckleberry cheesecake jelly beans. I am not finding the exact brand that I bought online, so the next time I go to the mall, I will get that name for you! Now I'm thinking I have just figured out what to send family for Christmas this year!
A pie story. During one of our family reunions here on the lake, DD #2 wanted to make a huckleberry pie. We went to the local fruit stand and a one pound bag of huckleberries was $10! :shock: She did not think one pound would be enough for a pie so we bought TWO pounds! It was a very expensive pie! Huckleberries are very small and only grow at the higher elevations. As Sherrie mentioned earlier in this thread, if you are picking them (they only grow in the wild) you will spend a LOT of time in the bear's domain. Huckleberries are one of their favorite foods. THIS is why they are so expensive!
Dawn,
In beautiful Northwest Montana
