It's blueberry season, my Dad and my sister went picking on Friday morning. I asked him if he wanted some of Nannie's recipes (his mother, my grandmother). "Sure" he replied. I have her recipe for Blueberry Cake and the recipe pictured here, in her handwriting, for Blueberry Pudding. I have made the Blueberry Cake recipe many times, it's always perfect-- even for breakfast! This Blueberry Pudding recipe is one that I remember eating at her house, but never preparing. I scanned the recipe in and e-mailed it to my Mom. She called yesterday: "have you looked at Nannie's recipe?", she asked, "there are no amounts!" Oh. I admit, I really hadn't read the recipe through for content; Mom was right. This made me laugh. I asked my mother if she was going to try making it, she wasn't sure. Two things that I am sure of though: 1- this recipe was delicious when my grandmother made it (however she did that!), and 2- her Blueberry Cake is a winner. You can make it by clicking on the link to get her recipe, it's a post from three years ago. Enjoy these recipes, from my family to yours; 'tis the season!
Life is Good!

I have a couple of my maternal grandmother's recipes like this - no amounts. I treasure them anyway.
I used to write recipes like that for myself. If I share I add quantity. This recipe looks good enough to try. I make a blueberry topping for pancakes that begins the same way, and it looks as if the bread is added to absorb excess moisture and to give it that pudding texture. I think nannie and I would have gotten along well.
It's almost blueberry season here! My fingers are crossed that I have a halfway decent crop. The last two years have been phenomenal! My grandmother never measured anything either. I remember her incredible cinnamon rolls! But there is no duplicating them! I'm going to check out that blueberry cake recipe right now! Thanks for sharing. XO
Rats. I just used up the last of our blueberries from our bush. Guess I can always make a stop at the local vegetable stand.
