Berry Crumble



The berries this time of year are simply delicious and I am always looking for ways to incorporate them into my menu.  A berry crumble is an easy way to make that vanilla ice cream in your freezer sing the praises of spring.   It takes a matter of minutes to put together the crumble, but the depth of flavors that burst from this dessert will make your guest taste buds wonder how long it took you to create a taste of the season.  It's up to you if you want to let the secret out.  Enjoy!
