STOVE TOP BLUEBERRY GRUNT



Stove Top Blueberry Grunt image

This oddly named dessert promises juicy berries topped with biscuity dumplings, and there is no need to turn on the oven. But it can easily become a soggy, bland mess. Do not use frozen blueberries here, as they will make the filling watery. You will need a clean kitchen towel for this recipe.

BLUEBERRY GRUNT



Blueberry Grunt image

A Colonial American dessert consisting of stewed fruit topped with drop biscuit dough that steams like a dumpling. This is usually made in a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven on the stove top and in its traditional form, the topping never browns. The word "grunt" refers to the sound the fruit makes while cooking. This is a slow-cooker version.

  • For a more decadent dessert, add a layer of cream cheese or whipped cream to the bottom of the slow cooker before adding the blueberry mixture.
