Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
  • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup orange juice

Method

  • In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, brown sugar and butter; cook for 5 minutes or until saucy. Pour into an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. In a bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Beat in egg and orange zest. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with orange juice, beating just until combined.
