Blackberry Crumble Recipe
Blackberries, and any kind of berries, grow prolifically here in Oregon. In fact, if you live in the Pacific Northwest (like me), it’s almost a requirement to love blackberries. However, no matter where you live, I guarantee you will love this blackberry crumble recipe.
You just can’t avoid blackberries in the Pacific Northwest—they’re all over the place. The problem is, the vines are so invasive and can take over an area in no time at all. In all honestly, their thick, thorny, trailing vine branches are a nuisance and no one really wants them around. However, I like to make lemons out of lemonade.
My neighborhood is covered in blackberry vines. There are so many, even the wildlife can’t keep up with eating all the fruit they produce. The blackberries growing on the side of the road are covered in dust and often left alone. When the summers are unusually warm, the blackberries are not only larger in size, but they are as sweet as sugar. I normally don’t see ripeness until later in September, but some years it happens earlier.
I have witnessed several homeowners out picking blackberries. Everyone seems to have their secret berry gathering location, including myself. The berries are so ripe and wonderful, I could stay out there all day and not get them all. Mine are also in a dust-free zone, which means I can just stand there and eat them as I pick. And trust me, I do just that.
These blackberries are not as beautiful as the ones you’ll find in a market, but they taste ten times better, and they are a lot cheaper this way! I also love using them in my chocolate blackberry pavlova recipe.
Adding sugar ensures sweetness, especially for the store-bought variety, while tossing with flour keeps the fruit filling from oozing all over your plate once it’s baked.
The crumble topping is the second star of the show. Old-fashioned oats and dark brown sugar give the perfect contrast to the fruit.
The crumble that covers this dessert is plentiful. It ensures that every bite of this blackberry crumble has a large crumble to fruit ratio.
How perfect does this look? Not only is the color outstanding, it stays together nicely once served.
Now, just imagine this topped with vanilla ice cream? It doesn’t get get better than that!
Do you have a favorite vanilla ice cream? I prefer a vanilla bean or old-fashioned vanilla instead of French vanilla.
This Blackberry Crumble is going to be perfect at this year’s barbecue celebrations.
