I don’t know about you, but I LOVE fresh blueberries! In addition to growing blueberries in our backyard {we have 12 blueberry bushes} I also like to stock up when I can find a deal and freeze them for use throughout the year.
Fresh produce rules, there is no doubt about it!
Here is my favorite Blueberry Crisp recipe, I hope you like it, we sure do.
Ingredients for the filling
6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries {I used frozen berries}
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all- purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped into bits
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Ingredients for the topping
2 cups old fashioned oats {I used quick oats}
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, melted
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl combine blueberries, butter, flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour into a 9×13 buttered baking dish.
Place the ingredients for the oatmeal topping in bowl and using a fork, work the ingredients together for a minute or two until they are nice and crumbly. Sprinkle over blueberry mixture, cover with foil and back for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook an additional 20 minutes or until the juices are bubbling.
Serve warm with ice cream.

I just wondering if you have a problem with birds eating your blueberries? We recently moved and our new place has 6 blueberry plants. I was so excited to have fresh blueberries, but the dang birds always get them. I tried balloons and cd’s and it worked for a week or so, but now they are back. Any suggestions?

Nope, no birds, just the dog. 🙂 You may want to try bird netting or flash tape though.

Try bird netting. You can find it on amazon or home depot.

Do you thaw the blueberries first?
