Over the last few weeks we have been visiting many friends in Ontario. This weekend saw us heading towards Tobermory, Ontario to see our friends Ethel and Marcel. En route we also visited with friends Brenda and Lynden and Richard and Peggy.

Overnighting with Ethel and Marcel, we enjoyed this great tasting dessert which has its origins in Amish country. The term “buckle”  refers to the fact that the crust buckles as it bakes.

If blueberries are not your cup of tea, substitute other fruits, or a combination of fruits.
