Bumbleberry Crisp with Saskatoon Berries, Rhubarb, and Strawberries

Have you heard of bumbleberry?  It isn’t actually a berry, but a combination of fresh or frozen fruit including saskatoon berries, blueberries, rhubarb, strawberries, raspberries, or crab apples.  The beautiful thing is you can pick whichever three or more you have on hand, in whatever amounts you like, and still call it bumbleberry.

For generations, farm wives have loved making bumbleberry pies and crisps to clean our their freezers of leftover frozen fruit or use up an overabundance of summer fruit.

Whatever your situation, you’re sure to love this easy summer dessert recipe.

Rhubarb, strawberry, and Saskatoon berry combine in this easy and delicious bumbleberry crisp recipe. With rolled oats and fresh or frozen fruit, it's sure to become a new favorite summer dessert recipe. #bumbleberrycrisp #summerdessert #summerdessertrecipe #fruitcrisp #saskatoonberry #rhubarb #strawberry

Disclaimer: This post contains plants that are problematic in USDA hardiness zones 2 and 3.  Some of these plants may not be problematic in your area.  If you have difficult growing conditions, you’ll want to put these plants on your next shopping list.  🙂
