it looks very ropey & almost set spread over the cream cheese mixture. Chill in refrigerator.

If you haven't got to Yellowstone and can't find Huckleberries you could use blueberries, raspberries, etc. Hopefully you will get to Yellowstone and find some Huckleberries. You can cheat and buy a bag of frozen from the man at the old drugstore at Victoria, Idaho if he can spare them out of his freezer. Huckleberries up there are like Wild Mushrooms in Kansas if you find some you DO NOT TELL ANYONE WHERE YOU FOUND THEM!!!! They will be there again next year. Some of the stores there sell them in jars as jams, jellies, syrups & you might find a sauce you could use to pour on and eliminate all the thickening. etc. with the fresh berries. Good luck and good eating. I will share a recipe from all the area's we worked and spent the summer at the end of my travel information for that National Park. Come on people go I'm hoping this blog will cause Yellowstone to have the most visitor's this year they have ever had . Jeanette
