Filling:
4 cups fresh blueberries (from four 1/2-pint containers)
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Dumplings:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
3/4 cup whole milk
To serve:
Whipped cream, chilled whipping cream, or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • For filling:
  • Mix all ingredients in 12-inch-diameter skillet. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until berries soften and mixture thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.

  • To serve:
  • Top with whipped cream, whipping cream, or ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor. If you are using frozen blueberries, thaw them before using.
  • Do not overcook the blueberries. They should be cooked until they are soft, but still hold their shape.
  • Serve the blueberry grunt warm with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of sour cream.
  • If you want a sweeter grunt, add more sugar to the recipe. You can also use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
  • For a more tart grunt, use tart blueberries, such as wild blueberries.
  • If you want a thicker grunt, add more cornstarch to the recipe.
  • You can also add other fruits to the grunt, such as raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
