Old-Fashioned Wild Blueberry Grunt

A delicious twist on a traditional recipe – using wild blueberries instead of regular blueberries in this grunt cake produces a more intense blueberry flavor and delivers twice the antioxidants!  Whoever said ‘less is more’ never tasted this delicious dessert. 

Ingredients

3 cups frozen Wild Blueberries

1/2 cup sugar

1/3 cup water

1 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons sugar

1 tablespoon butter or soft margarine or shortening

1/3-1/2 cup low-fat milk

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon if desired

Preparation

Combine Wild Blueberries with sugar and water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until berries are soft and begin to thicken, about 5 minutes.  Mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together.  Cut in butter.  Gradually stir in enough milk to make a soft dough.  Drop the batter by tablespoons on top of the simmering berry sauce.  Immediately cover saucepan and cook over low-medium heat 15-18 minutes.  Old Fashioned Wild Blueberry Grunt serves 4 to 6.
