Blueberry Slump Recipe

Preparation:

In a pan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon and cloves. Simmer until they turn to liquid, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from burner. In another saucepan over medium heat, heat milk to scalding, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk cornmeal into hot milk.

In a bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Cut in butter with pastry cutter. Stir in cornmeal mixture and moisten with additional milk, if necessary, to create a soft, biscuit-like dough. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls into the simmering blueberry mixture. Leave about an inch between dumplings. Cover, and simmer for approximately 15 minutes (or until done). Serve in bowls with ice cream and topped with heavy cream.
