Birthday Berry Crumbles

My brother's birthday is on Sep 12 & hubby's on the 30th. Following an early birthday celebration for them at Palm Beach Seafood, I made a simple Berry Crumbles dessert, with Spaghetti Vongole as the main for my hubby last nite. As he was working late returning home only at 9pm, it was just a simple 2-course meal at home.

I got some nice Oregon Blue Berries from Cold Storage to make this simple dessert & you can do it too.
Now, the secret weapon in making this zesty crumbles lies in the Lime Zest. You may’ve been hearing this word but what exactly is zest? Zest is the outermost portion of the peel of limes, lemons, oranges & other citrus fruits, but only the coloured portion. It’s often used to add flavour to different pastries & sweets.
