Lavender lends a subtle floral note to this crisp and complements the berries and pears. Use either fresh or frozen berries. Lavender buds can be found in gourmet specialty stores. Ingredients:
1 cup blackberries |
1 cup fresh raspberries |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 pounds pears, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 6 pears) |
cooking spray |
1/2 cup regular oats |
1 teaspoon lavender buds |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces |
3 tablespoons honey |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375º.
2. To prepare filling, combine the first 6 ingredients, tossing well. Spoon mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray.
3. To prepare topping, place oats in a food processor, and pulse until coarsely ground. Add lavender buds, and pulse 8 times or until combined. Place oat mixture in a large bowl. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt to oat mixture; stir to combine. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons honey to oat mixture; stir just until moistened. Sprinkle topping over filling. Bake at 375º for 30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
