Red, White, and Blueberry Bramble

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

I’d like to take a moment to share a delicious recipe for your next Independence Day BBQ or potluck: Red, White, and Blueberry Bramble!

I got this recipe from my mom by adding to her delicious blueberry buckle recipe. First I tried making it with just the cherries and almonds instead of the blueberries. It was so delicious! Then we thought, let’s combine the two and make a red, white, and blue cake for Independence Day! I decided to call it a “bramble” because of the almond slivers on top! 🙂

So worth the experimentation! What fruit/flavor combinations will you try?
