It's confusing to me, too. Some varieties of huckleberries are blue and are actually called "blueberries". I think it may be a regional thing. I made the mistake of calling Montana huckleberries blueberries. My sister, who lives in Kalispell, corrected me. They are proud of their tasty huckleberries. They put them in candy, syrups, jams, jellies, ice cream, etc... and they don't call them blueberries. Maybe Dawn could weigh in on this one?
