I served a nice lunch to some friends last month. One of our desserts (!) was a Blueberry Clafoutis, a simple French flan. It's not too sweet and is best served warm from the oven. Leftovers are good for breakfast.
For 1-9 inch pie use a quart of fresh blueberries, cherries, or plums, or a combination. Pour 1/3 cup of sugar and a tablespoon of rum over the fruit and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain the fruit and keep the liquid.
Grease a pie dish or tart pan and arrange the strained fruit in the bottom. In a blender mix the reserved fruit syrup, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 cup whole milk, 3 eggs, 1 Tbsp vanilla, and 1/2 cup flour on high speed for 1 minute. Pour over the fruit and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and maybe 10-15 minutes more until nicely browned and the center tests done.
It will puff up around the edges and smell wonderful! You can dust it with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream, but it's great as is.
