Sofia Nordgren: Berry crumble
By Sofia Nordgren
The gardens and forests are full of berries and it is time to enjoy them to the fullest. Fresh berries can be used for so many things; sprinkled on top of your morning oatmeal, or enjoyed with milk for a snack. Then of course you can make jam and marmalade, or freeze them for when winter rolls around. One of my favourite things, though, is to make berry crumble. I love the combination of berries and sweet crumble. Especially when you add a little syrup to the crumble, which creates a yummy caramel flavour. I hope you will enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
