Wild Berry Crisp

These various types of berries make a perfect dessert, especially for the sweet tooths out there.


Yield 4 to 6 ramekins or 1 8-inch baking pan  Prep Time 15 to 20 minutes  Baking Time 35 to 40 minutes

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
2 cups assorted berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed

1  Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2  Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, assorted berries, and sugar. Toss to mix well.

3  Prepare the topping: In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugars, and salt. Add the cubed butter and work in with the flour using a fork until it resembles a sandy mixture with pea-size particles.

4  Pour the filling into a baking dish then sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly on top.

5  Bake the berry crisp in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve them warm with ice cream if desired.

Fruity tip Can’t find fresh berries? This recipe works with the frozen kind too. Add the sugar and mix. Allow to thaw slightly.
