Made famous by: The Cline family. Triny Cline of Canton got the recipe from her mother, Margarita Cline, who makes it for a Fourth of July picnic every year. Triny says her mother got it from Triny's Aunt Sara Cline years ago. "People would always ask, 'Are you making that blueberry stuff?' " Triny Cline said.
Hands on time: 5 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Serves: 12
Ingredients:
-
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple, in its own juice
3 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 box yellow cake mix
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Layer, don't mix, the pineapple, then the blueberries and the dry cake mix. Drizzle the melted butter over all, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and top with the pecans. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until top is bubbly and cake topping is cooked through.
Notes:
Tip: "You can keep everything in the cabinet or the freezer, and it's really easy to pull together in a hurry, " Cline said. If blueberries are not in season, the recipe works just as well with frozen blueberries -- no need to defrost them first.
The recipe submitted by Triny Cline is much sweeter than the recipe above-- she mixes in 3/4 cup granulated sugar with the yellow cake mix before spreading it in the pan, and then uses 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar instead of 2 tablespoons. Our tester found the dessert plenty sweet without the added sugar.
