Fresh Fruit Crumble

Fresh fruit crumble recipe -- it's delicious!

Yesterday was our Isaac’s twelfth birthday. When we asked what kind of cake he wanted to celebrate, he answered — as he has for as many birthdays as I can remember — “I don’t want a cake, I want a cobbler.”

And who can blame him? Sweet juicy berries, warm crumbly crust, topped with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream — it’s almost more than a body can resist.

This time around, we used blackberries. His birthday hits about the time they are ripe for picking, although time constraints didn’t allow us to go hunting this year, so we used store-bought berries — not as much fun to gather, but every bit as delicious to eat.

The recipe we use is one we adapted from Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook, which has been our go-to guide for years. She used plums in her recipe, but this crumbly crust is also great with peaches, apples, blackberries, or blueberries (pictured below).

There are several pick-your-own farms near Tyler, so our family normally goes every year as soon as the berries are ripe. Working together, we pick all we can and freeze what we can’t eat immediately, to be used later in muffins, pancakes, cobblers, crisps, and crumbles.

But this dish remains our favorite. Try it, and you’ll understand why!

Ingredients

2 sticks real cream butter
2¼ cups flour
¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ cup rolled oats
2½ cups blueberries

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Rinse berries in a colander. Set aside to drain.

Crumble this mixture over the top of the blueberries, covering the fruit as evenly as possible.

Bake for 45-50 minutes, until juices are bubbling and topping is evenly browned. Serve warm with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.

(Sorry — once we dished it up, it didn’t last long enough to get a picture of the finished product.)

Instagram post 2185654846572903875_212311080 A couple of these guys were ready to quit choir just two or three weeks in. I insisted they stick with it for one full semester and told them if they still wanted out after that, I wouldn’t sign them back up in the spring. .
By concert week, they were all in agreement. They LOVE choir and want to keep singing. Their change of heart makes me so happy. .
I don’t necessarily believe we need to finish everything we start. Sometimes I get two chapters into a book or 10 minutes into a movie and realize I’d be better off devoting my time to something different. I don’t have a problem with shelving the book in favor of another or walking out of the theater in search of more wholesome entertainment. .
But quitting something just because it is challenging? Because it is hard? Because it doesn’t come easily? That’s another thing entirely. .
If we give up (or let our kids give up) every time the going gets tough, we will miss out on many of life’s greatest blessings. .
And, speaking of blessings, hearing the beautiful voices of these seven young people and all their friends lifted in song at their concert last Friday night was a blessing that warmed my heart to its very roots.

Instagram post 2145384025925487322_212311080 I throughly enjoyed reading Lisa Jacobson’s 100 Words of Affirmation Your Husband Needs to Hear. It was a good reminder of the power every wife has been given to encourage and build up her husband with her words when she chooses them wisely and seasons them with grace and gratitude. her husband, Matt Jacobson, has written a companion book for husbands. The pair would make a nice project to work through as a couple. #100wordsofaffirmation

Instagram post 2120660504259905797_212311080 I fell in love with the characters in this book, especially Ally. A young girl who struggles with dyslexia, Ali feels stupid until a new teacher opens her eyes to her unique strengths.
As a homeschool mom, I found the teacher’s example inspiring. Isn’t that what we want for all our children? For them to recognize and appreciate the wonderfully diverse gifts God has given each one and to develop those gifts to their fullest potential?FISH IN A TREE affirms what my parenting experience has demonstrated time and again: Great minds don’t all think alike.#backtoschool #booksarebrainfood #flandersfamilyreads
