Interesting BBQ Sauce

I am just back from helping out my parents in Tillamook, OR. Found this at the Blue Heron Creamery. I'm thinking it was just made for pork ribs.

Justin @Rafter H BBQ , sent me some Huckleberry Honey, and it was very good. I have used it on a few things.

Well, we now know what's your Huckleberry!

My favorite BBQ place has regular, Carolina, hot, and blueberry. I tried the blueberry. Did not get it at all.

I’d try that! I had some huckleberry chocolate when we were out west on our honeymoon 3 years ago, I wish I could find more!

Love them huckleberries! Purple gold. I can see a huckleberry BBQ sauce working great with pork--I made a raspberry-habenero sauce this year that was out of this world on ribs. I need to try it with huckleberries. So far I've only made jam and syrup with them, but I do have a bunch in the freezer.

If only they weren't so hard to come by. They only grow between 4,000 and 10,000 feet, usually on uncomfortably steep slopes in North Idaho, Northeast Washington, and Northwest Montana (plus British Columbia, just north of those regions). They've never been successfully cultivated. And I've never managed to pick more than a pint an hour, so coupled with the driving and the climbing just to get to a good patch, it's a slow process.

But oh, so worth it!

We have some here of the red variety that grow wild at maybe 50'-100' above sea level.

I thought huckleberries were just wild blueberries, because the ones I am familiar with from Appalachia taste like blueberries, only with more flavor. Looked it up and found out huckleberries come from different genuses. And the ones they have in the West are in a different genus from the ones in the East and, if what I read is correct, don't taste like blueberries.

The ones from the west taste a little like blueberries. Tarter. Some say both sweeter and tarter, like a blueberry on steroids.

Yes, the ones that grow around here go from pink to red and tart, and usually smaller than an average blueberry. More like a lingonberry.
