Blueberry Peach Crisp
Blueberry Peach Crisp
Last summer when I put bags of fresh whole blueberries and sliced sweet peaches in my freezer, I definitely had this recipe in mind. I knew I would make this wonderful dessert on a cold, snowy day! Well today is the day. It’s a balmy -6 here in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. With a light breeze coming down from our Northern Canadian neighbors, thus making it feel like a very chilly -25 below zero. Ouch! Today I’m going to make me some blueberry peach crisp and enjoy a spoonful of summer!
Add Some…
