I had 3-4 cups of huckleberries that I wanted to add to an apple cobbler. (Had heard that this was a good combination). This recipe looked like it might work for that. It turned out to be very good! Used about 8 cups of apples, cooked them separately with the flour and sugar in the oven about 30 minutes at 350 first, (Used no water) then sprinkled the huckleberries on top, then the topping and baked about 35 minutes longer. It turned out great. Next time huckleberry cobbler is the goal, probably would use more huckleberries and fewer apples, though, as the apple flavor dominated. I made 1 1/2 x the topping recipe, as some had suggested increasing it, but ended up not using the extra 1/2, as it was too much. A very good recipe.

It is very important to let fruit drain at least 5-6 hours. I used 3/4 cup milk in the dressing and let it sit in the frig while the fruit drained, stirring occasionally, and the consistency of the dressing was very nice. All the different kinds of fruit (added fresh strawberries) were delicious. Have to use the salad in 1-2 days, as the dressing does thin out after a couple of days. I would make this again. It is a different salad suitable for company.

I tried adding the extra egg, too, and thought they were a little too soft, but still very good. Also couldn't find wheat germ, so used cracked wheat--don't try that--were a little too crunchy! They kept soft nicely and were very good after sitting out for several days in a plastic bag. Very versatile recipe. You can double up or substitute many different things to your liking. I added double sunflower seeds and no sesame seeds, and chocolate chips. The flavors were slightly masked by the crunchiness of the cracked wheat, though. So would definitely try again, but use only the one egg and maybe chopped almonds or walnuts instead of the cracked wheat.
