“Grunt” is the funny name given to a colonial dish of berries topped with sweet dumplings. It’s a wonderful summer treat for it’s prepared on top of the stove, not in the oven. It will, however, provide homey warmth for breakfast, brunch or dessert any time of the year.
This recipe has great berry flavor that’s intensified by the addition of blackberry syrup, a special syrup found at many farm stands and specialty food shops. If the syrup isn’t available, substitute two tablespoons berry-flavored liqueur or brandy, increase water to three tablespoons and add 1/3 cup sugar to the berries.
Note: Blackberries and blackberry syrup may be replaced with other berries and berry syrups.
