I think I’ve mentioned this before but it’s worth mentioning I live in the heart, the epicentre, right smack dab in the fricking middle of blueberry country. Which is so convenient because I just happen to LOVE them. As in if I don’t hide them in the back of my fridge I will eat an entire pound of them at one time.
I also live about 3 hours from the Okanagan which is one of the largest fruit producing regions in Canada and right now it peaches are in season which happen to be one of my Grandma’s favourites. So it only makes complete sense that I would take my favourite berries and her favourite stone fruit and redesign an old fashioned, quintessential dessert type comfort food using natural and wholesome ingredients that fit into my Paleo lifestyle.
One bite of this Blueberry and Peach Crumble took me straight back to my Grandma’s kitchen watching her peel peaches and tell me jokes she had heard earlier in the day on her favourite radio station.
Food is memories. Beautiful, delicious memories.
