"BE MY HUCKLEBERRY" PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375-degrees F
• Line the bottom of a 9" pie plate with one of the two pie crusts. If using frozen fruit, quickly rinse off any ice that may have formed around the berries and drain completely.
• Mix both sugars, tapioca, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and cinnamon, if using. Add huckleberries and one shredded apple (optional) and mix gently to combine.
• Set aside to rest for 15 minutes to allow the tapioca to activate.
• Meanwhile, cut the remaining pie crust into ¼" strips using a pastry wheel.
• After the fifteen minutes are up, pour pie filling into the prepared pie crust and dot with butter.
• Place the strips of dough in a lattice fashion over the pie and either tuck the ends of the strips under the bottom crust or fold the bottom crust over the strips and crimp.
• Cover pie edges with foil or pie crust protectors. Brush with 1 tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar. Bake for an hour, or until the mixture is thick and bubbly and begins to ooze out of the lattice crust. Remove the foil during the last 15 minutes.
• Cool the huckleberry pie before slicing. Enjoy topping with vanilla ice cream.

MINI BLUEBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• Pulse flour, confectioners' sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With processor running, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms (do not process more than 20 seconds).
• Cut dough in half; shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 day. Cut 1 disk into 12 pieces; on a lightly floured work surface, flatten each piece into a 2-inch round. Press a round onto bottom and up sides of each cup of a 12-cup nonstick mini-muffin tin. Repeat with remaining disk of dough and second muffin tin. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and zest, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Add berries; toss to coat. Fill shells with berry mixture. Bake until crusts are brown and filling is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly in tins. Run a knife around tarts; remove from tins. Let cool completely on rack.
