Blueberry kuchen is a summer showpiece from Sandra Mills's recipe book. A simple butter crust with a touch of vinegar is pressed into a springform pan, filled with blueberries tossed in sugar, flour and cinnamon and baked for an hour.

The best part: a layer of fresh raw berries goes on top as soon as it comes out of the oven, so you get both cooked and fresh blueberry flavor.

Instructions

  1. Crust. Combine the flour and sugar. Work in the butter with your fingers or a pastry blender. Add the vinegar; it should hold together. Press into the bottom of a springform pan and work the dough at least 1/2 inch up the side.
  2. Filling. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Add 2 1/2 cups of washed and sorted blueberries and pour into the crust.
  3. Bake. Bake at 400°F for 1 hour.
  4. Fresh berries. Remove from the oven, put the remaining 1 1/2 cups of raw berries on top and cool.
  5. Serve. Before serving, remove the ring from the pan and dust with confectioners sugar. Serves 8.
