- 1/2 cup Splenda*
- 2 tsps fresh lemon juice

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400-degrees.
- Grease a large (1-1/2-qt) square baking dish.
- Combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Spoon into the baking dish.
- In another bowl combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Work the butter until the mixture is in coarse crumbs.

Canning and freezing the blueberries:
*Splenda is the trademark name for sucralose sweeteners. They are different from other artificial sweeteners like Nutrasweet (tm for aspartame) and SweetNLow (tm)in that Splenda doesn't break down when you cook with it. It is also considered to be "more natural" since it is a modified form of ordinary sugar. However, even the company that makes Splenda generally doesn't recommend completely substituting sugar with Splenda - a 50-50 mix seems to work best; otherwise both consistency and flavor suffer. But at least you can cut the empty calories almost in half!
