Smoked Lumberjack Meat Log

Okay, I’m back up on the soap box, proclaiming once again that you can cook anything in your pellet grill that you can cook in your oven. Here’s more delicious proof.

Topping: Combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder in a small bowl. Beat an egg in a separate bowl. Make a depression in the center of the dry mix and pour the egg into it. Fold gently until the topping mixture is crumbly.

Filling: Mix ¾ cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch in a small bowl. Put 6 cups of fresh or frozen blackberries (or boysenberries) in a large bowl and sprinkle with the sugar/cornstarch mix. Toss gently to evenly coat the berries.

Grease a square 8″ or 9″ pan with butter. Put the berries in it and sprinkle the topping over evenly. Melt a stick of butter and drizzle it evenly over the topping.

Bake this at 375° for 45 minutes. I predict that unless you utterly disdain dessert, you will have a second helping of this, especially if you serve it with vanilla ice cream.
