NOVA SCOTIA BLUEBERRY GRUNT RECIPE
Makes six to eight servings

For the blueberry sauce:
1 ½  litres (6 cups) wild blueberries (fresh is best, but frozen will work too)
175 ml (3/4 cup) sugar
7 ml (1 rounded tsp) cornstarch
1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground nutmeg
125 ml (1/2 cup) water
1 5 ml (1 tbsp) butter

For the dumplings:

375 ml (1 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
10 (2 tsp) baking powder
30 ml (2 tbsp) sugar
50 ml (1/4 cup) cold butter
30 ml (2 tbsp) freshly grated lemon  zest
2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground cinnamon
1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt
175 ml (3/4 cup) milk

For garnish: heavy cream or vanilla ice cream

Place a deep, wide, heavy bottomed pot on top of the stove. Pour in blueberries. Stir together sugar, cornstarch and nutmeg. Add this mixture to the bowl along with the water and butter. Stir gently and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, then cover and cook for 20 minutes.

While the blueberries simmer, make your dumplings. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon peel and cinnamon. Cut the butter into the flour mixture and add milk, stirring just until moistened (dough will be quite stiff). Drop dough by spoonfuls (about 6 to 8) over simmering blueberries. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until dumplings have puffed and a cake tester or toothpick inserted into one comes out clean. It helps to place a clean tea towel over the pot. The tea towel will help to absorb some of the steam and result in fluffier dumplings.

To serve, dish out a dumpling into each serving plate or dessert bowl and spoon hot blueberry sauce around the dumpling. Serve warm with cream or vanilla ice cream.
