MIXED BERRY CRUMBLE

I have a slight affinity for berries-can you tell, e.g. Mini Mixed Berry Pies, Mixed Berry Smoothie. You know what I love about them? They are the perfect balance between two of my favorite contrasting flavors: sweet and tart.  

Aside from that, not much needs to be added to perfectly ripened fruit. You would think that for someone who consumes processed sugar like an SUV with 10 mpg, a fruit filled dessert would be last in line for consumption.

Wrong. Although, hmm . . . wonder if that has more to do with the limited seasonality of them. Surely, I can’t be the only one who wants what they can’t have. And when that “can’t” becomes readily available all measures of self-control—well that’s, the sentiment of those will power.

Here’s to getting all mixed up with some summer berries.

Ingredients:

Berry Mixture:

2 teaspoons water
2 tablespoon cornstarch
¾ cup sugar
6oz  raspberries
8oz blackberries
8oz lb blueberries
1 lbs cherries, pitted

¾ cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoon chopped almonds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
