Nice Berry Almond Crumble Recipe

My dessert consumed dad was at it again today; he simply could not withstand this berry fall apart recipe he discovered in the New York Times. He utilized fresh strawberries, blueberries, and some of our frozen boysenberries.

Our boysenberries have the tendency to be quite tart, so with the 3 Tbsp of sugar, the fall apart ended up rather tart. Perfect for my father and me, but my mother complained (" why can't you make it the method I like it? Why do you always have to make things like this so tart?").

Mama understands she's welcome to bake anything she wants the method she likes it, so this conversation didn't go extremely far. However inspect your berries if when you make this recipe.
Add basically sugar depending upon your preference and how sweet the fruit is. By the way, something we've seen recently is that the strawberries we get by Driscoll have not been very sweet, and do not have nearly the taste of the strawberries we get at the farmer's market or at the local fruit stand.
