    Mini Blueberry Almond Crisps

    Yesterday I made a delightful recipe from one of my favorite chefs, Carla Hall, recently featured on The Chew. This is an easy and trimmed-down recipe for a scrumptious blueberry crisp made in six ramekins for fun individual portions. The filling, made with blueberries (fresh or frozen), lemon, sugar, cornstarch and salt, is topped with a crispy and buttery crumble that bakes up to perfection.

    Blueberry Peach Crumble

    This comforting recipe for Blueberry Peach Crumble needs little introduction. Cobblers come in all sorts of varieties, but one of my favorite fruit combinations is blueberry and peach. The fruity filling consists of the usual components, sugar and cornstarch, along with a delicious twist – lemon juice, freshly grated lemon zest, cinnamon and almond extract. The combination is heavenly. To top it off I made a traditional crumble of brown sugar, butter, four and salt. It’s easy to make and a guaranteed hit. Once baked it will be crumbly on top and oozing with warm fruit on the bottom. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of freshly whipped cream. It’s the perfect end to your summer meals.
