Blueberry Crumble

August 28, 2018 By marketeditor

Recipe courtesy of Alexander’s Bakery
*Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

Savor the last of this summer’s delicious blueberries with this blueberry crumble that is free from peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, egg, soy, wheat, and is gluten-free and vegan.  

Ingredients for the filling:

  • 1 ½ cups Local blueberries
  • 2 Tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons non-GMO cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract

Ingredients for the crumble:

  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend (ex. King Arthur Cup for Cup)
  • ¾ cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • ½ cup (packed) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter substitute (ex. Earth’s Balance buttery sticks) cut into ½ inch slices
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions for the filling:

In a small heavy saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and water.  Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until blueberries begin to break down, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and add gluten-free vanilla. Set aside to cool.

Instructions for the crumble:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan
  2. In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, gluten-free oats, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the cold butter substitute and use your fingers to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs about the size of small peas. Place ½ the mixture in the bottom of the 9×9 pan and press down lightly. Spoon filling on top then sprinkle remaining crumble on top.
  4. Bake 50 – 55 minutes until the top is lightly browned and filling is bubbling.
  5. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes.  Serve warm with your favorite safe vanilla ice cream.  Enjoy!

Get ready to mushroom into a world of flavor at th Get ready to mushroom into a world of flavor at the Saratoga Farmers' Market! 🍄🌱 This week, we're thrilled to highlight the Mushroom Shop and their incredible selection of locally grown and harvested mushrooms. We spoke with owner's Jacob and Elysee to learn more.

Q: What are some of the health benefits associated with consuming mushrooms?

A: Mushrooms contain a multitude of medicinal compounds. The mushroom species Cordyceps militaris contains cordycepin, which increases your blood's ability to absorb and transport oxygen, improving exercise performance. Mukitake or Panellus serotinus possesses compounds that have shown in recent studies to improve liver function in people suffering from fatty liver disease. Reishi mushrooms improve immune health, warding off sickness and reducing inflammation. Other medicinal mushrooms include Turkey Tail, Chaga, Agarikon, Maitake, and Lions Mane.

Q: What inspired you to start selling mushrooms at the farmers' market?

A: We initially got our inspiration from a mushroom farm based in Tennessee called Mossy Creek Mushrooms. They have many videos on Youtube covering every aspect of operating a mushroom farm from building and maintaining equipment to harvesting and marketing mushrooms. Jacob has had an interest in growing mushrooms as a hobby for about eight years when he discovered a patch of oyster mushrooms growing in the wild. We got the opportunity to lease land in the beginning of 2021 and shortly after started selling at farmers’ markets.

Q: How do you recommend customers prepare and cook the mushrooms they purchase from you?

A: At our farmers markets we always provide printed recipes that utilize the mushrooms available during the current season. Like meat, mushrooms can be cooked in a variety of ways, such as sautéing, roasting, and grilling to create a flavorful dish. One of our recent favorites is a Spicy Crispy Lion's Mane Sandwich- a thick slab of Lion's Mane mushroom battered and fried on a toasted bun with spicy mayo and pickles. This is a delicious take on a chicken sandwich made entirely of whole, natural produce.
