My husband prepped a large amount of strawberries as a breakfast side one evening. He did this by slicing them up and tossing them with a tablespoon of sugar and letting them sit in the fridge until morning. However, when everyone woke up, we did not feel like eating them. My husband was concerned that they would go bad quickly. But I calmed his fears. We were heading to a party that afternoon and I said I could turn them into a berry crumble quickly and we could bring it to the party for a dessert option. I used my basic crumble recipe that I have used before for blueberries, but paired it with an almond flavor profile. I think any left over berry or peachy fruit salad from a brunch or dinner party could have a second life as a crumble. That way you don’t have to feel guilty throwing away the fruit. In fact, if its been sitting in sugars and juices in a salad form, it makes for more syrup in a crumble. I made mine with whole wheat party flour to make it healthier, but you can sub regular flour just the same. If your berries have more blueberry in them than anything, follow my blueberry crumble recipe where I used lemon juice instead of almond to brighten the flavors. I love when I give leftovers a yummy second life. It makes me fell green and thrifty!
