Ms. Donna’s Blueberry Crunch
Contributed by: Donna Wheatley
Although I have never been considered a wonderful cook, this one dessert is the one thing I can take to any carry-in dinner and know that the dish will be absolutely clean when I bring it home! I grow the blueberries in my own yard, and you should too! They are extremely beautiful and easy plants to grow and easy fruit to pick. To freeze them, just put them into Ziplocs. Do NOT rinse! If you have to buy your blueberries, this is an expensive dessert. If you grow them yourself, it’s very cheap, as desserts go.
In one 9 x 13 dish, layer the following in this order:
1 pound can crushed pineapple
4 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries (no need to thaw them)
one-half cup sugar if you used pineapple in heavy syrup
OR
Use 1-cup sugar if you used pineapple in its own juice.
Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Punch holes in top to let the juices run, and bake 25 minutes more. Top will be brown.
