For best results, use fresh, ripe huckleberries. If using frozen huckleberries, thaw them slightly and drain off any excess liquid before using. The lemon zest enhances the huckleberry flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer a more traditional pie. Be sure to cut adequate steam vents in the top crust to prevent the pie from exploding during baking. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, you can cover the edges with foil or a pie shield. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
