What each ingredient does

Eggs
Set the pudding and bind it into a firm, sliceable custard-like texture.
Huckleberries
Provide the main fruit flavour and moisture that cooks into the pudding.

The step that matters

Boiling for 1.5 hours. Boiling the egg and fruit mixture for a long time lets the eggs fully set and the juices reduce. Too little time leaves the pudding loose and wet in the middle.
