Warm Berry Crisp

This berry crisp is utterly delicious -- fruity, buttery and laced with a brilliant mix of spices.  Another amazing recipe from Ann Clark and her wonderful cookbook, Quick Cuisine.

Serves 8

Ingredients

4 cups fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or a mixture), quickly rinsed and dried; or 4 cups frozen berries
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons sugar

2/3 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground mace
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
7 tablespoons unsalted butter

Plain yogurt, heavy cream or vanilla ice cream for serving


To Make

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Butter a 9-inch square baking pan.

Mix together the berries, lemon juice, and sugar and spread the mixture in the bottom of the pan.

In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, spices and salt and cut the butter in with a pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. 

Cover the berries with the topping and bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and bubbly.  Serve warm with yogurt, cream or ice cream.
