Blackberry Crumble
In the spring, our family has a special tradition of picking wild blackberries and coming straight home to make this wonderful Blackberry Crumble. The textures and flavors of this crumble are something we look forward to all year, while we wait for that first batch of blackberries to come in. Everyone takes their own zip top bag and competes to get the best berries. It reminds me of the doors opening on Black Friday, when bargain hunters all over the country storm retail stores shopping for the best deals on Christmas gifts.
