Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate with one pie crust; place huckleberries into crust.

Step 3

Combine ¾ cup sugar and flour in a small bowl; sprinkle evenly over berries. Add lemon juice and lemon zest over top; dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Press edges together to seal: cut steam vents in top. Brush top with cream. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar.
