Blueberry and Cherry Crumble

My husband and daughter made the humming sound as they ate this. Do you know what I mean? When you take every bit you uncontrollably make the mmmh sound. It is one of my fav. things to hear.
I served it straight from the oven with a big dollop of homemade whip cream. YUMMY.
I rant about fresh produce from the farmers market and this dessert and dinner is all fresh fruit and veggies from there. I love the farmers market. AND I REALLY LOVE HOMEMADE CHERRY AND BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE!!!!!!!




Yes! I am crazy! I pitted about 200 cherries and my fingers are still discolored. It was worth it.....But I am not sure if I will try to pit all the fresh cherries again.



I added 1/2cp of sugar to the already cut cherries and I would continually toss with each batch of freshly cut cherries.





Cherry and Blueberry Crumble
3cps. cherries
1 cps. blueberries
3 heaping TB of flour
1 1/4 cp sugar(If you already added 1/2 cp to the cut cherries add that to this amount of sugar)

1. Toss all of the above together and put in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan.


THE CRUMBLE
1 1/2 cp. flour
1 1/2 cp. oatmeal
1cp. brown sugar
1/2 cp. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick of cold butter
3/4 cp. of shortening
2. I threw all of this in the food processor and processed until about dime sized. I then put it right on top of the cherries. This makes a lot of crunch, but I love lots of crunch
Bake on 375 for about 40 minutes.

While it is cooking....whip up some homemade whip cream.
1 cp. of heavy cream
1/4 cp of sugar
Beat until it is thick....MAKE SURE you do not over beat it. It will turn into butter.


YUMMY....ENJOY
