Blueberry Pickin Weekend

Hi there!  So we had been meaning to get to a local farm to do some blueberry picking for the last two weeks.  Finally the star aligned (two happy kids + two awake parents) and we made the 15 minute drive the Homestead Farm to fill up on big, warm, sweet blueberries.  I remember picking strawberries when I was younger and picking blueberries was much easier...the bushes were big so you didn't even have to bend over to find good ones!!






Layla loved picking almost as much as she loved sampling one (or five) berries....Hadley like it for about the first 5 minutes then she was ready to run.  So it was a good thing it only took us about 20 minutes to fill up all of our containers and head back (tractor ride!) to the farmer's market area and pick out some veggies and more fruit. 

 
 
We also stopped to see a few of the animals - the baby goat was the cutest and ate right out of Layla's hand! 



Our first box from our Summer to do list has been checked off!
xo!

Raspberry Blueberry Crumble

Saturday morning ~ another trip to the Farmers' Market!  The savory smell of sweet sausage on the grill, the sounds of a banjo playing, and the beautiful display of  fresh vegetable and fruits ~ what's not to enjoy?
My past Farmers' Market posts here and here have included vegetables. This week I decided to go for something sweet ~ A Crumble with Fresh Raspberries and Blueberries!



Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Lightly grease a 9" pie plate.
Gently place the fruit into a medium bowl.


Add 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla.  Carefully mix with the fruit.  Spoon into pie plate.


In a bowl combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar.  Cut in 6 tablespoon cold unsalted butter until crumbs are formed.


Add 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.  Mix thoroughly.


Evenly distribute the topping over the fruit. 


Bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream!


Enjoy!  ♥  Printable recipe
