Like cherries sprinkled with confectioner's sugar, right?
From my desk I watched half a dozen Robins
swooped in to eat some crab apples.
This one had a hard time navigating around the stems!
He wrestled with those things for the longest time!
Robins don't eat seed, so I'm glad we had
all that fruit on the trees!
But it made me hungry for cherry pie!
Had to settle for blackberry crisp. Yum.
~Recipe~
1.5 c sugar, 1.25 c flour and 10 T cold butter.
Pulse in food processor until it resembles crumbs.
In greased 8x8 pan, spread 4 cups of fruit and sprinkle with
2 T Minute Tapioca and 1/2 t cinnamon.
Sprinkle topping over and bake 350 for 40 minutes
or until golden and bubbly.

And yes, I had a serving for breakfast, too! ;)

nice. we made blueberry crisp last night! if he stays at it maybe he can tie that stem in a knot before too long...
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your first picture, I thought they looked good enough to eat. On second thoughts I'll settle for a helping of the blackberry crisp. (Interesting, we call it crumble not crisp.)
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorites too. I like the variation you have in your recipe with the tappiocca and cinnamon. Will try that.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up, we had a row of boysen berriers and my mom made a cobbler with row and rows of pie crust strips...the best breakfast I ever tasted.
Was Taylor happy with the results of the Super Bowl?
Wanda ~ the tapioca is just to thicken up any juices. We love the same breakfast foods! :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog makes me hungry...often.
ReplyDeleteOh, that looks fantastic!! (I am good, by the way. Thanks for asking on my blog:-) Just settling in and trying to get school started for the Davin boy who has gotten used to sleeping until 10 in the morning!
ReplyDeleteDid you evidence, like I would and have done, of the blackberry crisp on your face and fingers?
ReplyDeleteChristine ~ ok...where's that hidden camera in my kitchen....
ReplyDeleteMy weeping crabapple tree and the neighbor's dwarf crabapple tree were loaded this fall. Then one day I saw a flock of starlings land despite the warning of two robins, they decimated the fruit tree. I thought it might be a local thing so was happy to see you have a happy robin eating something red, like my little crabapples, at your house.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying all the pictures of the birds. Our old neighbors (who moved 3 years ago) had a bird feeder between our houses and I loved watching them. Enticed by your pictures, and because we now have a window in our family room free from an old desk hutch we got rid of, I got a bird feeder. But no birds come! Squirrels are liking it, though. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteAbe ~ I think you only live about an hour from me...we might even have the same starlings and robins!
ReplyDeleteI have starlings who came for the crabapples but once they say the birdseed, they went for the easier meal. :)
mhowe ~ whenever I move my feeder I tie a red ribbon or piece of fabric to it. It helps the birds find it! good luck!
ReplyDeleteWow, it seems like you live in a beautiful area with lots of wildlife.
ReplyDeleteI do love to come here for the lovely photos and often the lovely food too! Really lovely. x
ReplyDeleteLike cherries sprinkled with confectioner's sugar, right?
ReplyDeleteVery poetic.
@Brian: I thought of the same thing! This David Lynch is very familiar with the works of that David Lynch!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see that Robin enjoying itself.
ReplyDeleteThe bird looks angry in that last pic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. But you made me hungry too.
butter, sugar and cinnamon!!! LOVE it....yummy. Oh will have to try this. yes, it does look like confectionary sugar....sweet little bird, too.
ReplyDeleteThe sound of your morning today made me smile. Love the symmetrically lined up remotes!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, birds are so much fun to watch.;))
ReplyDeletexoxo
Fruit pies and fruit crisps are my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI bet the Robins get pretty hungry! Glad they found your tree!
Oh you have Robins! That means spring is around the corner!
ReplyDeleteI love the recipe and each photo...love those little sweet birdies finding their food! ;D
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the snow looking like sugar. Lovely photographs Betsy (as always).
ReplyDeleteThis weekend I noticed the yard was covered in robins.....I love watching them!
ReplyDeleteThe blackberry crisp sounds yummy. I looked long and longingly at a pack of blackberries at the grocery store last night. I finally had to decide that $5.99 was too much to pay. But, oh how good they looked!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!
ReplyDeletesteviewren ~ oh, I agree! Mine were in the freezer from last summer! :)
ReplyDeletei love me some blackberry crisp!! glad there was something for the little robin.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!! And that blackberry crisp sounds sooooo good!! Served warm with ice cream, right???
ReplyDeleteBe right there!
Hugs

this made me smile and so happy to see them have such luscious berries .. I eat cobbler for breakfast often..so yummy.. I have missed my visits here my friend
ReplyDeleteThe robin is one of the birds we aren't seeing in the winter.
ReplyDeleteYou are just like me...dessert for breakfast is the best!
Yes, I think I was some warm pie or crisp too, from that description but with hot custard poured on top of course.
ReplyDeleteOh yum, think I'll make this today I have some blackberries frozen from farmer's market this summer and have been waiting for the perfect recipe to use them!!! :)
