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:
To freeze fresh blueberries:
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.
