Nectarine and Blueberry Crumble

This recipe has been a family favorite for years.  It was originally my Grandmother’s recipe, and we all loved it when she would bake it for us.  It is so simple, but very good.  You can use any combination of fruit.  Peaches and blueberries, figs and raspberries, Jonogold apples with cinnamon and cloves, or any fruit your family likes.  One of our families favorites is Blackberry and Apple crumble and mom made it in summer when we would pick lots of blackberries around our house.  If using all berries, add a little flour to the fruit before baking.  This is also a great recipe to make for a crowd and serves a lot.  This nectarine and blueberry crumble is a very homely dessert, but the crisp, buttery crust is delicious and it is a great comfort food dessert.  Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to take it over the top!  It’s simple to make with a food processor and takes minutes to prepare.  The secret to a great crispy crust is to pour half of the crumble over the fruit and lightly press it down and then pour the rest of the crumble over.  The other trick is to really process the butter and flour together well in the food processor to almost a sand-like consistency.  Click here for the recipe….
