An iron pan isn’t necessary for this recipe, any single-serve casserole dish would work. I will give you a double serving size and you can multiply it if you need too. I love a fresh one smashed on a Triscuit with a smash of honey goat cheese…… awesomeness in one bite!! Throw a bag of them in the freezer and enjoy Blackberry Syrup on waffles in the dead of winter!! I mix 1 part blackberries to 2 parts maple syrup and add 1/2 part water and then cook the water out of it……nice and thick juice………take it off the heat for about 10 minutes and whoohoo….syrup!! Back to that berry crisp…. Of course, a really terrible batch of CHIGGERS will make you appreciate tame ones! (Google chigger if you don’t know what it is….and I dare you not to scratch!) But packing a picnic lunch and going swimming in the lake near where we pick can be fun!!Īdded to a salad they are a burst of summer flavor in one bite. There are tame ones but most have seeds that I just don’t care for, so I would just as soon go blackberry picking in the wild. I love to make a blueberry-banana milkshake with frozen berries and bananas and almond milk! My featured picture above is a tiny Blueberry Crisps…I made them in 6-inch iron skillets as individual desserts. Again I make sure to pack plenty of them in the freezer so that I can enjoy them all year round. Then before you know it, here come the blueberries! Fresh plump and sweet ones are sooooo good! I stuff them in almost everything….blueberry-studded chicken salad with crunchy celery beside it is mouth-watering stuff or into a hot bowl of oatmeal. Mix ingredients together with a spoon, seal the lid, and place into the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (letting the chia seeds sit overnight is ideal). When they are SO plentiful I make sure to put plenty of them in the freezer! A strawberry crisp on a cold winter day can’t be beaten!! Place chia seeds, protein powder, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup and vanilla extract into a glass meal prep container or medium bowl with a lid. And plenty of vendors at our farmer’s markets that have them too, so they are plentiful. We have a few “pick your own” strawberry fields in our area. This one features honey goat cheese with a drizzle of more honey for that tart-sweet taste! Strawberries start the season out strong in about April here. …to putting them with some other fruit in a salad. Starting with strawberries in the early spring all the way to down to the elderberries of fall seasonal berries and fruit become a big part of my diet! From tucking them into a glass of tea with some fresh mint from my garden… I love a good berry crisp!! I have been looking back thru some of my food pictures and realized that I have been celebrating berry “season” since Spring and it is now Fall.
