Blueberry Cobbler Bars

1 Cup flour 1 Cup quick-cooking oats 2/3 Cup brown sugar, packed Grated rind of 1 orange 8 Tbsp butter, softened 2/3 Cup sugar 3 Cup blueberries, fresh or frozen 2 Tsp fresh lemon juice, strained 2 Tsp fresh orange juice, strained 1/2 Tsp cinnamon 1/8 Tsp nutmeg 1 Tbsp cornstarch

Combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and grated orange rind. Use your fingertips to quickly and thoroughly mix in the butter. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of a well-greased 8- or 9-inch square baking pan. Set aside. Put the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a non-aluminum cooking pot. Gently bring to a boil over medium heat, cook and stir the berries until they burst and the sugar dissolves. You may want to mash some of the berries to prevent sticking. Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 Tbsp of cold water and stir it into the berry mixture. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Let the blueberry mixture cool somewhat, then spread it over the flour-oats crust in the baking pan. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly with the remaining flour-oat mixture. Bake at 350oF for about 40 minutes or until the top crust is slightly browned. Cool completely, then cut into bars. Yield: 8 servings.
