Blueberry Grunt
"This recipe is a bit lower in sugar, but still quite tasty. It relies more on the sweetness of the berries than sugar. It's good for breakfast, or you can have as dessert with ice cream or whipped cream. Prep time includes simmering time for blueberry sauce."

I always enjoy a lemon & blueberry flavor combo, as I did in this recipe! Also used frozen blueberries this first time, & don't get me wrong, they were just fine, but I really want to make this again when blueberries are at their peak! Loved your grunt & will be making it again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's round of the great Pick A Chef event]
