Mario's Weekend Cooking Challange: Blackberry-Blueberry Crumble

Mario's Weekend Cooking Challenge is a Facebook Group for people to get together, once a month and cook the same recipe, compare notes and discuss outcomes. It is put together by Mario Bosquez host of "Living Today" on Martha Stewart Living Radio, Sirius 112 & XM 157

This months challenge was a "sweet" one! Blackberry Blueberry Crumble. A delicious mix of some of summer's tastiest offerings! The fast and simple recipe was provided by Chef Kate Goodyear and can be obtained here: Blackberry-Blueberry Crumble

First, you want to combine your berries, with some brown sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice.

Place your berry mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish.

Mix together your topping ingredients of flour, oats, white & brown sugar, ground ginger, salt and butter. Mix it, by hand (make sure you wash your hands first!), to obtain medium to large "crumbles".

Spread the topping evenly over the berries.

Bake at 350° for about 40-50 minutes until it's golden brown & bubbly! The scent of this baking is heavenly!

Serve this warm or at room temperature with a generous scoop of buttermilk or vanilla ice cream!

This treat couldn't be easier to prepare and will be loved by all! You can also substitute other berries, as well as stone fruits like peaches and plums!
