Blueberry Crumble

A colleague of mine wafted a delightful blueberry cobbler through our office a few days ago and, so taken was I with the enchanting smell, I had to make my own. After scouring 5 different grocery stores I finally found a sufficient amount of blueberries and eagerly hurried home to create this tasty little marvel. 

What you'll need:
3 pints of blueberries (fresh)
1/2 C granulated sugar
1 C brown sugar (packed)
1 C flour
3/4 C oats
10 Tbls butter (cut into small pieces for easy mixing)
Juice of 2 lemons
A wee bit of: salt, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and grease an 8 1/2 x 11 baking pan. In a large bowl mix blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and about 3 tbls of the flour until all berries are evenly coated. Pour into baking pan. Then blend together (with mixer or hands--I'm a hands type of gal) the brown sugar, oats, butter, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg, and the rest of the flour. This mixture should become crumbly. At that point evenly sprinkle it over the blueberry filling. Bake for 25-30 minutes (until blueberries start to boil over slightly). Wait to cool (boiling blueberries=ouch) and enjoy!
