Huckleberries with Crackers and Cream

Posted on

Mollie (Peterson) Kees

Pick over carefully one quart of blueberries, and keep them on ice until wanted. Put into each bowl, for each guest, two soda-crackers, broken in not too small pieces; add a few tablespoonfuls of berries, a teaspoonful of powdered sugar, and fill the bowl with the richest of cold, sweet cream. This is an old-fashioned New England breakfast dish. It also answers for a dessert.

There was no evidence that my grandmother ever prepared this recipe, but it does answer the question of what huckleberries are.
