I had some leftover berries and a handful of oats (...yeah, I tend to just cook with whatever's left in the pantry before I go to the store and buy new ingredients -- hate to waste food!), so I decided to make a mixed berry crumble.
The blackberries were good, but let me just say that strawberries do not a good crumble make. They just turned into a soggy, tasteless red sludge. It was somewhat redeemed by my super-top-secret crumble ingredients: cassia AND real cinnamon, for a nice dual-cinnamon effect. Not so top-secret, I guess. But, condensed version: strawberries /= good crumble.
What is your favorite fruit to put into a crumble? Pear? Rhubarb? Apple? Have any special crumble secrets?
