BLUEBERRY PEACH CRISP

Okay, this one requires a little measuring, it's true.  But, once you get the hang of making fruit crisps, you won't need to measure anymore, promise!  (I dont!)

  • 1 quart blueberries
  • 2 white peaches, diced
  • 1/2 a lemon
  • sugar to taste

Crumb topping:

  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsps unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (all purpose) flour
  • 1/4 cup oats (regular or quick-cooking)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • dash nutmeg
  • dash salt

For crumb topping: Combine ingredients in a medium bowl and work into a crumb-y (crumbly?) mixture. Flour should be absorbed by the butter, and mixture should look "gravel-y."  Do not overwork or the mixture will become oily.
.
.
.
Preheat oven to 375º. In a large bowl (or in baking dish) combine berries and peaches with lemon juice and sugar to taste.  Place in bottom of a rectangular baking dish. (I use one that is slightly smaller than 13" x 9".)

Top evenly with crumb topping mixture.  Bake for 40 minutes until topping is crisp.

Serve with vanilla ice cream or with a dollop of whipped cream, creme fraiche, or plain Greek yogurt.

I stumbled upon this site as I was in the process of doing some online research. This recipe looks delicious. I will definitely have to try it as blueberry/peach season is here.

Oh my goodness, that looks SO good. I made an impprovised blueberry crips last night which wasn't that great because I lacked some of the essential ingredients, but the kids still liked it.

But I am going to try your recipe with the next batch of blueberries we pick.

When I come over, you'll make this, right? Right? I'll bring the ice cream.

Pretty remarkable. I substituted blueberry museli for oats. I also added 1/4 cup of golden roasted flax seed. Wonderful recipe and healthy too.

Cooking Gear To Spice Things Up

  • All-Clad cookware
    I use the stainless line. I love it because you can put it in the dishwasher. If you like to cook it is sooo worth it to have quality pots and pans. I recommend buying a set on sale and then filling in extras as you need them. (Watch for sales and specials.)
  • Cast Iron Skillet
    Please get rid of all your teflon-coated non-stick plans and get a cast iron skillet. I use mine for searing meat, poultry, and fish and then finishing off in the oven. In fact, get two cast iron skillets—one large enough to hold two ribeyes and a smaller, fried-egg-sized one for making...well...eggs.
  • Food Processor
    Quickly slice/shred veggies and cheese, make hummus or other spreads in a snap, and make pie crust without making a mess.
  • Global Knives
    I am partial to the 18 incher. Yep, I like big knives and I cannot lie. If you like to cook (or even if you don't) you deserve to have good knives. At least one.
  • Instant Hot Water Dispenser
    If you can't afford to have one built-in, this is a great alternative. It's nice to have boiling water at the push of a button to make tea, instant miso soup, or morning oatmeal for the kidlets.
  • Microplane Grater/Zester
    Use this to grate citrus zest, nutmeg, and cheese. You could get a coarser one, but you don't need to. I have one and I use it for everything.
  • Penzey's Spices
    A great resource for all your herb and spice needs.
  • Rice Cooker
    Every family should have one.
  • Silpat
    Silpat is a silicone mat used for baking. They come in various sizes. Items will not stick to it. It is a must for any home baker.
  • Stick or Immersion Blender
    It doesn't have to be fancy, but try and get the highest HP you can afford. I use my stick blender (+ attachments) for making salad dressing (weekly), pureeing soups, making babyfood, and whipping cream.
