My mother made this all through my childhood. It’s lighter and crunchier than a cobbler. My mother made her own breadcrumbs by drying her own bread in a low oven until crispy and running it through the food processor. They could also be broken into small pieces and cut up smaller with a knife. More simply, unseasoned breadcrumbs are a fine substitution. Equipment recommendation: this can be made in a 9-inch pie dish or a thinner layer of fruit and topping in a larger dish.
Ingredients
3 pounds blueberries
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup blueberry jam
1-1/2 cups unseasoned breadcrumbs
1 stick unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 additional tablespoon for greasing the baking dish
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1-1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Serves: 8-10
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
The fruit: Put the blueberries in a medium bowl and coat them with a light layer of zest and the lemon juice mixed with the cornstarch and the jam.
The topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the butter and breadcrumbs. Season with the salt. Mix in the brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and cloves. Mix to blend.
Grease the baking dish with the remaining butter. Layer the bottom with the berries and then all of the topping.
Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and place in the center of the oven. Bake until the blueberries and topping are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil, raise the oven temperature to 425F and bake until the top browns, 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool a few minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.
