We had friends over for dinner and I wanted to make a nice yet simple dessert. I've seen a lot of terrific recipes for crisps out there lately and I thought a blueberry crisp would be a perfect way to use up the last of the blueberries my neighbor Jack gave me. I decided to try this recipe from the Food Network because it sounded really simple to make and because it called for pecans in the crumb topping. I loved how sweet the blueberries were and I really enjoyed the crunch of the pecans. I served this blueberry crisp warm from the oven with homemade whipped cream. It was delicious - we all loved it.
