Mixed Fruit Crumble

Mixed Fruit Crumble

This time of year I am always looking to empty my freezer out a little. I find it also helps me to be more creative. When it’s cold outside fruit desserts always make me think about summer. I decided the first three fruits I found were the ones I would use. Turned out to be blackberries, blueberries and red grapes. Pretty nice mix. I thawed out the fruit and tossed them with some sugar, a little cornstarch and a squeeze of lemon juice. I had about 7 or 8 cups of fruit, but I knew they would cook down. I put them in a 9-inch glass baking dish and made the topping next.

Baked it until the top was golden and the fruit was all bubbly. It was a big hit and if I hadn’t admitted that it was just a matter of what I found first I think my guest would have though I’d planned it from the beginning.

Mixed Fruit Crumble

The filling

7-8 cups mixed fruit- I  used blueberries, blackberries and red grapes

1/2 c. brown sugar

3 T. cornstarch

2 T. lemon juice

The topping

2 c. rolled oats

1 c. flour

1/3 c. brown sugar

2 t. cinnamon

1 t. nutmeg

1 stick butter

Combine the fruit with the other filling ingredients and place in a baking dish. I used a 9×9 inch glass baking dish but use whatever casserole you like. Place all the topping ingredients, except the butter,  in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Cut in butter to resemble coarse crumbs. Mixture will be crumbly. Sprinkle over the fruit mixture and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or until topping is golden and fruit is bubbly. Serves 6.
