Blueberry Crisp
Are blueberries in abundance where you live right now? They are everywhere here in New England. Every grocery store has a special on them, and because I just love these juicy little berries, I cannot resist buying pint after pint. This leads, of course, to an abundance of blueberries not only in the grocery stores, but in my refrigerator as well.
So what do I do with all of this delicious fruit? (Let’s face it, there are only so many smoothies one can drink :o)) I immediately thought of making blueberry muffins, however, I had just made some banana muffins the other day, and decided we did not need 24 muffins sitting around the house; that’s just asking for trouble. Thinking a little outside the box, I decided to use my favorite fall recipe for apple crisp, and transform it into a summer treat, instead. Yep, blueberry crisp. It. Was. Awesome.
What is your favorite way to eat blueberries? Let me know below!
Paula’s Notes: You can make this recipe in one 8×8 pan, or in 6 7-8 oz ramekins for individualized desserts.
