Blueberry Crumble Recipe

-
It's that time of year!!! Blueberries are in and we love to pick, eat, can and bake with them in this "Grandma's Attic Series" by Arleta Richardson,  they are a wonderfully written set of books I enjoyed as a child and have shared with my kiddos.  Well reading these stories about Mable (main character) My chicken has realized that children then were expected to do more things, more mature things then now a days. Daily chores included cooking and cleaning for a 10 year old as well as what we now consider crafts for hobby.  The stories have inspired her to want to learn to bake, sew, quilt and crochet as well.  So after a delightful morning in the blueberry field we ventured to make a crumble. I will admit I hovered a bit, but kept to the side line while she did her thing and not only was it done it was done well.  The most important thing that happened was this little spike of confidence. That sense of accomplishment that everyone needs now and then.  We both had it. She in herself and me in her!
household!  This year my amazing 10 year old decided to try her hand at making her own crumble. Yes she wanted to bake. We have been reading some lovely books about a young girl in the mid 1800's growing up in Michigan, the series is called

Recipe

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Bottom
1 quart blueberries
1 cup sugar
1 tbs. corn starch

Topping
1 stick butter melted
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp. vanilla extract

In a bowl mix the blueberries, sugar and corn starch together until all the berries are coated well.  Expect some to break up a bit.  Place in bottom of pan.

In a separate bowl stir sugar into melted butter. Add vanilla and stir.  Now ad flour a small portion at a time. This will become very dry and crumbly.  Sprinkle on the top of the blueberry mix. Place in oven and bake for 40 min.  If your pan is too shallow there is a chance of the juices bubbling over so I do put mine on a baking sheet before putting in oven.

Serve alone or topped with clotted cream or ice cream.

Compare ours to theirs

Buy them today! Do you ever go into the big fancy Stores and smell all the perfumes and fragrances and then just about pass out from the prices?  I used to, then I realized I could buy comparable scents at a fraction of the cost from Avon. Then I realized they had others that were far, far better then those on the shelves. This was all about a year or two before I started selling Avon by the way.  Here is a list of fragrances that I put together. I spoke to a few people I know and asked them to tell me what my Avon scents would compare to because I seriously couldn't do this on my own and everyone has a slightly different take so I wanted to have a survey so to say about it.  SO take a look at the list and see if any of them just might be what you are looking for! All of Avon's Fragrances can be found Online . Angel or FlowerBomb to Avon's Passion DKNY’s Be Delicious to Avon's Femme Amarige or Chloe to Avon's  Candid Green Tea to Avon's Haiku Hu
