Blackberries grow abundant in the dewy west of Ireland late in the summer. Mainly used in sauces and desserts, blackberries offer a sharp tart flavor while adding joyful sweetness to any treat. Apparently, they were the “Flavor of the Month” in Sept 11 for Better Homes and Gardens!

3 cartons of blackberries
3 tbsp of sugar
¾ c. of breadcrumbs
½ c. of confectionary (icing/powdered) sugar
1 ¼ tsp cinnamon
½ stick of butter/margarine

Heat oven to 400 °F

Mix the blackberries and the sugar in an 8 inch pie dish or casserole and leave to allow sugar to soak in.

Mix together the breadcrumbs, confectionery sugar and cinnamon. Bit by bit, add in the butter using your fingers to mix the ingredients into a consistent crumble (Crumble should remain pretty thin. If you want to have bigger chunks of crumble, add in more butter).

Cover the blackberries with your crumble mixture and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.

Take out and let set for 5minutes as the blackberries will be quite hot, then serve alone, with whipped cream or à la mode.
