Picking blueberries is a fun and delicious way to spend a few hours, you can come away with enough to eat and make delicious recipes. Here’s one I found courtesy of Harrowsmith Country Life. Blueberry And Rhubarb Crisp For the Filling: 3 cups Silverside blueberries 2 cupsrhubarb, chopped into 1/4 pieces 1-1/2 cups sugar 1/4 cups flour pinch of salt
For the Topping 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/3 cup butter Preheat the oven to 375 degrees C. Butter a 6 cup baking dish. To make Filling: Place the blueberries and rhubarb in a large bowl. In a 2nd bowl. stir the sugar, flour, and salt together and pour over the berries. Mix until the berries are well coated then transfer to the buttered baking dish. To make the Topping: Place the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix the ingredients until the mixture is crumbly. Spoon the crumb mixture over the fruit mixture. Bake for 50-75 mins. The fruit should be bubbly and the top golden brown. If the top is browning too quickly, cover with a loose sheet of aluminum foil. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipping cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Serves 8 . We love sharing our fruit and farm with you and look forward to seeing you this Summer. Written by Lynn Bull
