Line pie dish with pie crust. Add huckleberries on top of pie crust. Optionally serve with ice cream. Spoon the huckleberry filling into the cold pastry-lined pan and dome it slightly. Distribute the butter pieces evenly over the filling.
Use a pastry brush dipped in water to moisten the edges of the bottom pastry and cover with the top pastry. Press edges together firmly. Trim excess top crust to be flush with bottom crust. Fold the double thickness of pastry back on itself to make a standing rim and flute. Brush the top of the pastry lightly with water—try to avoid making little pools of water—and make 4 to 6 slits for steam to escape.
Sprinkle top evenly with 1 tablespoon sugar. Put the pie onto the heavy baking sheet and bake 25 minutes at degrees. Reduce the oven temperature to degrees, and bake until the pastry is a deep golden brown and the pie juices bubble thickly through the slits, about 50 minutes more.
Cool the pie completely on a wire rack, at least several hours, before cutting and serving. If you cut the pie too soon, the filling will run all over the place. You can hasten the setting of the filling by refrigerating the pie for 3 to 4 hours after it has become warm.

Plants with this name come primarily from two genera: Gaylussacia and Vaccinium. The berries are small and round, with a similar appearance to blueberries, though their color may range instead from deep crimson to eggplant purple. The taste is also often compared to that of blueberries, although it is distinct.
The different types of huckleberries include the black, box, dwarf, and thinleaf. Red ones grow primarily in the western part of North America, preferring slightly acidic soils in the coastal regions. The black and dwarf plants grow mostly in the mid- and eastern part of the continent, while the woolly and Confederate huckleberry grow in the southern US.
