Preparation

Step 1

To make the ice cream: Put the huckleberries in a pan. Add the water and sugar. Cover and simmer 5 minutes, until just soft.

Transfer the fruit to a colander placed over a bowl and press it through the holes using a wooden spoon. Let cool then chill.

Whip the cream by hand until it is thick but still soft enough to fall from a spoon. Mix the whipped cream with the chilled fruit puree. Pour into a plastic or other freezer-safe container. Freeze two hours.

To make the topping: Pour huckleberries into a large pan. Add the water and bring to a simmer.

Slowly stir the pectin into the simmering water and berries. Slowly add the sugar and cotninue to stir until it reaches a boil.

Boil for 1 minute and remove from the heat. Let cool, then pour into a large plastic bowl and chill.

Scoop ice cream into dishes and decorate with topping and extra huckleberries. Store leftover topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
