Original Wild Huckleberry Pie (Brown's Best)

4 cups fresh huckleberries

1 ½ cups white wugar

3 tablespoons tapioca

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 Tablespoon butter

Stem and berries.  Mix Tapioca, Sugar and Salt. Sprinkle lemon juice over berries.  Line pie tin with pie crust, pour in filling and dot with butter.  Add the top crust and slit the top.

Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.  Then, reduce oven heat to 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

*Mother’s secret for an evenly browned crust is to bake pies in a brown paper bag.  This eliminates spills in the oven that must be cleaned up later.
