Lady Magnon asked me to buy a few Apples after my recent doc's appointment, but being France, and being just 2.30pm on a hot weekday afternoon, both the village shops were closed.
We're in between fridge-freezers at the moment; the old one is on its last legs, and the new big silver job doesn't arrive until the 25th. It was time to finish-off the last of last year's Blackberries.
Lady M is nothing if not resourceful; so instead of Apples she decided to use Bananas (which we had in abundance).
Banana and Blackberry Crumble? Yup, it was VERY good; in fact I've advised her to take-out a copyright on the recipe!
Yum! I think it sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could give you a bucketful of blueberries from my backyard. They're just about ready. :)
I love Blueberries, we buy them in tiny punnets for €€€€€'s.
Deleteyou just wouldn't think they would go together would you? I love the adventurous fruity spirit x
ReplyDeleteA weird combination - something I would never thought of - I still have quite a bit of fruit in the freezer from last year - must do something with it all soon to make way for this years harvest.
ReplyDeleteYes, all our brambles are now in full flower.
DeleteIt's the middle of the night and I suddenly have the desire to go bake something. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to clear the freezers as one is on its last legs. I have a large bag full of blackberries, might give this a try, which was the strongest flavour?
ReplyDeleteBlackberry; by far.... but she only used one banana for about twice the amount of berries.
DeleteJohn Lewis would have had it there by now. Why the long wait?
ReplyDeleteWe're still learning how to spell banananana...
DeleteIt's berry time here and if the weather cooperates I will be taking the g-kids to a local farm this week to do some picking. They can bend so much easier than I.
ReplyDeleteRight, I have both so shall try it for lunch tomorrow - that's the pudding dilemma solved!
ReplyDeleteAh
ReplyDeleteAlways remember
" when you are desperate reach for a banana"
I am waiting for our blackberries to ripen here on our property, and will remember to add a banana--It's a good twist to one of my summertime favorites along with ice cream!
