Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the top is just starting to brown. Remove from the oven and allow the grunt to cool for 15 to 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh berries for the best flavor. Mixed berries or a single type of berry can be used.
- If using frozen berries, thaw them before using. You can also use a combination of fresh and frozen berries.
- Adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. If the berries are very sweet, you may not need as much sugar.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to make the grunt. This will help to prevent the berries from sticking and burning.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the berries have softened and the mixture has thickened.
- Serve the grunt warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
