From the Abenaki tribe in Maine...
Ingredients
Procedure
This recipe called for gooseberries that were completely impossible to find here in Monterey. I tried for huckleberries but was equally unsuccessful. So I settled on a blueberry-cranberry mixture.
Ingredients
- 2 C + 2 T white whole wheat flour
- 1/2 C + 2 T corn meal
- 1/2 t baking powder
- 1 t salt
- 3/4 C butter
- 1 T honey
- fresh mint
- 1 C fresh blueberries
- 1 C fresh cranberries
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
Procedure
Mix all the dry ingredients together and, using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture. Pat half the dough into a buttered baking dish and sprinkle with 1 T of cornmeal. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. In the meantime, mix the berries together and stir in honey, lemon juice, and fresh, rough-chopped mint. Pour into pre-baked crust. Top with remaining dough, sprinkle with the last T of cornmeal. Return to oven and bake till the topping is browned and the berries are bubbling.
