Cherry and Blueberry Crumble

In a constant effort to make room in my freezer, just so I can fill it again, I felt I had to use up the bags of frozen wild blueberries and sweet dark cherries in my freezer. My Dad was just visiting last weekend and I decided to make a crumble for our Shabbat dessert. It was just my boyfriend, Dad, and I and we ended up finishing all the food and too my boyfriend's astonishment, my Dad picked up and drank the remnants of this crumble. His eating capabilities are beyond human. This dessert is very easy to whip up and tastes delicious! No need to wait until the summer time to use these wonderful sweet and healthy berries, the frozen ones work perfectly too! Tastes best with vanilla or soy vanilla ice cream.
