A family favorite---and don't you love the name? Called a "buckle" b/c it cracks and buckles as it bakes and cools. Full of blueberry flavor; really moist; great with vanilla ice cream. Not too sweet. Drizzling Glaze over before serving is a beautiful finishing touch.

My husband just passed by the computer and was attracted to that!

(My Granny used to give us “Huckleberry Pie”, and I loved it; but what is a ‘Huckleberry’, and how different from blueberry?)
