Blueberries

We picked blueberries from our orchard yesterday.  The kids had so much fun helping!  We would have had a few more, but they kinda got the munchies!

So last night, Anthony searched online for a recipe, and found a really good one for blueberry crisp. We had it with vanilla ice cream. I'm not much of a blueberry fan usually, but this was really yummy!

Here's the recipe:

Blueberry Crisp

1 quart (4 cups) fresh blueberries

3/4 cup sugar

2 Tbl. corn starch

1 cup water

2 Tbl. + 1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup regular oats

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 cup butter, melted (no substitutes!)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350*

2. Lightly grease 11x7" baking dish, and spread the blueberries in the bottom of the dish.

3. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice; cook and stir constantly, over medium heat, until thick and clear (it will start to bubble), then stir in the vanilla.

4. Pour over, then gently stir in the cooked mixture with the blueberries.

5. In a bowl combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

6. Add the melted butter, and mix until crumbly. (I start mixing with a spoon, then finish mixing with my hands)

7. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the blueberries. (It will seem like a lot of crumble, but it will settle and mix well when baking)

8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the blueberry mixture bubbles and the topping is brown.

9. Serve with vanilla ice cream.... Enjoy!!!

Just a note:  Next time I make this, I will probably add 1/2 to 1 more cup of blueberries.
