Tell me, are you a winter person or are you lusting for spring already? I'm a bit of a winter person, but I love spring also. What I love about winter is cooking things like this - something that you can throw together on a whim and it makes you feel warm and lovely without a lot of effort.
Whilst it's put together much like a cobbler, to me it takes me back to SaraLee danishes. The crispy and sweet top and almost custardy insides and ooozy fruit is go-go-GORGEOUS. It's packed full of blueberries too - which you can tell yourself like I did, that they're full of anti-oxidants... so indulging in this gorgeous dessert which I don't even think needs cream or icecream (but don't let that stop you).. can make you feel a little spoiled whilst you can at least pretend you're being just a little bit virtuous.... you believe me right?

I'm remembering the Sara Lee Danish now! I'm chomping at the bit for Spring I have to admit :P
GOD I love Sara Lee Danish - so bad but so good. I reckon you make a crumble type topping (like the clumpy sort you'd put on a muffin) to make it even more like it!
bought the blueberries yesterday, can't wait to try this tonight. Your blog is becoming my 'go to' site for inspiration.
ok, made it, delicious. But how do you tell when it is cooked? It was still pretty wet and gooey inside at 45 minutes so I left it a bit longer. Think I should have taken it out though? Is it supposed to be runny inside?
