Song of the Week of 6/18/99 ~ "You Took Him Off My Hands"


Recipe of the Week ~ " Heart So Blueberry Cobbler "


    In honor of June the blueberry month, I present you with this blueberry recipe. Blueberries are so plentiful this time of year in my part of the country, but since my kids don't care for blueberries plain, I try to make various desserts using them. This delicious blueberry cobbler is a perfect choice for those who enjoy cobblers as much as we do. Friends and family will gobble this sweet treat up, taking the abundance of blueberries off of your hands. However, it won't take the memory of this delectable goody off their minds, because they'll be begging for seconds!

  • 1/2 cup Sugar + 1 tbs. sugar
  • 1 tbs Cornstarch
  • 3 tbs shortening
  • 1 tsp. fresh Lemon juice
  • 4 full cups of fresh blueberries (frozen may be substituted)
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk

    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and the cornstarch in 2-quart saucepan. Add the blueberries and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Keep to boil as you stir constantly for 1 minute and then pour the mixture into ungreased 2-quart casserole. Place in the hot oven to keep blueberry mixture hot. Next, cut the shortening into flour, add 1 tablespoon sugar, the baking powder and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the milk until dough forms. Drop the dough by 6 spoonfuls onto hot blueberry mixture. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm topping with your favorite whipped cream or whipped topping!
