This week we had quite a treat in our co-op basket, blueberries!  Native only to North America, blueberries are considered a “super food.”  With high levels of manganese, dietary fiber and vitamins C, B6 and K, this fruit makes a wonderful addition to any healthy diet.

2 cups fresh blueberries
1/4 cup sugar

Crumble:

1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup flour
Dash of salt

Place berries in buttered casserole dish.  Sprinkle ¼ cup of sugar over berries.  To make crumble mix sugar, butter, flour and salt in a bowl with a fork until well mixed.  Crumble dough over blueberries.  Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 – 35 minutes, or until topping is golden brown.  My favorite way to serve this scrumptious delight is warm with vanilla ice cream.  Enjoy!

Blueberry Tip:

Place berries on a cookie sheet in a single layer.  Place the cookie sheet in the freezer until berries are frozen.  Transfer berries to freezer containers.  Rinse berries before use.  Do not rinse berries before freezing.
