Blueberry Grunt
"This is a pudding with dumplings in it. Pretty tasty! This is a crockpot dish so turn it on and leave it be for 5 1/2- 6 hours, before you start the dumpling part."

ingredients
- 4 cups frozen blueberries
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 cup water, warm if using frozen blueberries

- Stir into flour mixture to form a soft dough.
- Turn the slow-cooker to high.
- Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls on top of the blueberries.
- Cover and slow-cook until the topping is firm and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle the dumplings with the brown sugar.
- Let the grunt stand for 5 minutes before serving, then spoon into individual bowls.

Made this for my husband and he enjoyed it through the week. It was easy enough to make, I used half fresh and half frozen berries. I found that I really had to squeeze in the dumplings on top but it worked. We wondered why it is called "grunt" but figured it was because he kept grunting with satisfaction when he ate it!
