Blackberry Crumble for Michaelmas

According to an old Irish folk talk, blackberries were supposed to have been harvested and used up by Michaelmas (Sept 29th - tomorrow!). In celebration, we made Blackberry Crumble this morning for snacktime.

Keira began by putting the blackberries in the cookware..


Maia's turn was next...

It was Dee's job to help Brianna...

Little did we know that Bree didn't need our help at all..

Next we mixed the ingredients to make the "crumble"...
And sprinkled it on top of our Blackberries (oops, Brianna decided she didn't want to wait until we baked them!)...


She stole a Blackberry and ate it faster than we could get to her! She was quite proud of herself!

Then we stirred the mix together and placed it in the oven while we went on our nature walk...

And we ate it all up outside! It was soooo good!!!
