–Making Bonny’s Blackberry Crumble with berries just picked in our garden. <\/p>\n

Blackberry Crumble <\/span>(recipe from this website<\/a>)<\/p>\n

* 2 cups washed blackberries
* 2\/3 cup sugar (Note: I used half the sugar and it still tasted great)<\/span>
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice, or juice of 1 lemon
* 3 tablespoons butter
* 2\/3 cup all-purpose flour
* 1\/8 teaspoon salt <\/p>\n

Put blackberries in a 1-quart baking dish with half of the sugar. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cream butter, remaining sugar, flour, and salt together; sprinkle over berries. Bake blackberry crumble at 350\u00b0 for 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

Serve warm or cold with cream, ice cream, or dessert sauce. Blackberry crumble dessert recipe serves 4.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
