This pie is everything you’d want in a cookie. Except, oh yes, it happens to be ! I could sit here and tell you about how I was in charge of dessert for our neighborhood Memorial Day party. Vegan Chocolate Pie recipe. VeganYumYum. Yeah, I’d never heard of a blueberry grunt, either.
Until I became friends with Sandy. Every since we became friends, I couldn’t use the word “blueberry” without her saying “Mmmm, blueberry grunt…” eyes half-closed and smiling. I knew it was one of her favorite desserts, but I couldn’t bring myself to make something called a grunt. Until, that is, I had four cups freshly picked blueberries. A grunt is in the cobbler family, and it’s a traditional East Coast maritime dessert. Blueberry is a popular flavor for grunts, but I imagine you can use pretty much any berry or fruit. Recipes for grunts are all pretty standard, I adapted and veganized this simple recipe. Blueberry Grunts Makes four individual grunts, or one large Blueberry Filling Four Cups Fresh Blueberries (or frozen) 3/4 Cup Sugar 1 Tbs Lemon Juice 1/2 Cup Water 1/2 tsp Each Cinnamon and Nutmeg, optional (I left them out) Add all of the ingredients for the blueberry filling into a large skillet.

Calamondin (or Lemon) Pie with Oatmeal Cookie Crust.
I started making this pie years ago, while visiting my parents for the winter holidays.
In November, their citrus trees start producing more fruit than my parents can use, so by December they’re giving fruit away by the bagful. And since my father has a big sweet-tooth (which E. and I have inherited), he’s always looking for ways to transform those lemons, oranges, and other citrus into sugary desserts. One year, he wanted a lemon pie, and my parents, being the gracious hosts that they are, suggested that I make it for him. I guess it doesn’t sound so gracious when I put it that way, but what they really wanted was a vegan pie that all of us could enjoy. So I found a recipe for lemon pie filling in the classic Farm Vegetarian Cookbook, and the rest is history.
