SUMMER BERRY GRUNT

Mmmm berries stewed with vanilla and sugar, topped with steamed dumplings. A traditional dessert in the New England area and one of my favorite. I like this combination, but you can use any berries you like, and regular sugar if you don't have vanilla sugar.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of berries for a more flavorful grunt. Fresh or frozen berries can be used.
  • If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt to 1 cup all-purpose flour.
  • The amount of sugar you add to the grunt will depend on the sweetness of the berries. Start with 1/2 cup and add more to taste.
  • Be careful not to overcook the grunt. The berries should be cooked through but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the grunt warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of yogurt.

Conclusion:

Berry grunt is a classic American dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a perfect way to enjoy the bounty of summer berries.
