Huckleberry purée

[Quesmoy]

I am going to make huckleberry caramels, but 1st I need to make a purée out of the huckleberries. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to do this?

Its simple, just process the berries in a food processor, then strain through a chinoise or another fine sieve.

Thank you, so I do not need to boil them 1st or anything like that?

No. In general you want to avoid applying heat to fruit, it will change the flavour (the manufacturers of commersial fruit pureés only heat it very rapdily to pasteurize). If you can get it soft and smooth without heating, go for that.
