huckleberries
Small wild berries
Huckleberries is the plural of huckleberry, a small dark berry native to North America, similar to blueberries but with larger seeds and a more intense flavor.
The berries grow wild in mountainous regions and resist commercial cultivation: We picked huckleberries in Montana.
In older American slang, a huckleberry was a small or insignificant person, or just the right person for a job: I'm your huckleberry.
