Fresh Mixed Berry Crumble

Ingredients:

• 2 pints fresh blackberries
• 2 pints fresh blueberries
• 1 pint fresh rasberries (or any other fresh berries such as Logan, Young or Ollalieberries)
• 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
• 1.5 cups flour
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1 stick sweet cream butter, sliced into cold cubes
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• dusting of freshly grated nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Wash and drain all berries.  Place in bowl and mix with cane sugar.

In another bowl mix flour, dark brown sugar and cinnamon and blend until mixed.  Add butter.  Slowly mix and squeeze butter into dry ingredients until well mixed and buttery crumb is created.  I like to do this until I’m sure all the dry ingredients have been very well blended and are no longer dry and dusty. This makes a lot of topping but you can’t have too much!

Pour berries into a large pie, gratin or casserole dish.  Cover with brown sugar crumb mixture. Dust very lightly with freshly grated nutmeg.

Bake uncovered for an hour or until topping is golden browned.  Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes.  Serve with freshly made whipped cream or vanilla ice cream or gelato.  My favorite is Tahitian Vanilla gelato!!
