An old-fashioned dish of blueberries and dumplings, blueberry grunt is a popular end-of-summer dessert. Top with heavy cream or lightly sweetened whipped cream for a special treat.
Yield:
4 generous portionsIngredients
3 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Combine berries with sugar, water, and lemon juice in a heavy, nonreactive 4-to-6-quart kettle with a tight-fitting cover. Cover tightly and cook several minutes over moderate heat, until the berries are barely tender. (They will finish cooking with the dumplings.) Remove from heat.
I love this recipe. I don’t remember when it was first published in Yankee, but I managed to loose that issue. I wrote and asked for a copy, and you very kindly sent me a photo copy of the recipe. I made several copies and stored them in various places so I would never loose the recipe. Thank you.
