blåbærgrøt (blueberry and rye porridge)

Great recipe any time of year. In summer, use fresh blueberries from the garden, or freeze them for using in this recipe other times of year. Served warm, so is great for winter.



Will add photos when time permits.


1) Pour 3 cups of wild or other blueberries into a bowl, set aside.

 In a different bowl, measure out 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour, and a 1/4 cup of rye flour, into this one bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon. Also set this bowl aside.



2) Bring 2 1/2 cups water to the boil with about a TBS of sugar. Once boiling, add blueberries. Gently stir, and turn down heat to just heat thru the berries. Simmer for 4-5 minutes. 

3) Turn the heat further down til it is on a very low heat. 

4) Once the heat is on low, slowly add the flours, continuously stirring, til porridge thickens, about 5 minutes. 

5)Serve with melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and a cream.  And more fresh berries if you have them.


VARIATION

add half of the blåbærgrøt to the same amount of cooked steel cut oat groats, like McCann´s. 

Serve with maple syrup and butter
