Blueberry Crumble Bars

                                                      Blueberry Crumble Bars
                          

Easy peasey recipe. You don't have to use only blueberries, this works well with fresh raspberries, blackcurrants, peaches and good old apple spiced up with a little cinnamon. You can be as imaginative as you like. Remember to add a little sharpness to the fruit, here I've added lemon zest & juice but orange works so well with Blueberries too.
