TRIPLE BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, gently toss together blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and white sugar; set aside.
• In a separate large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press half of mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Cover with berries. Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over the berries.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown.

BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray, set aside.
• In a large bowl mix together the oats, flour, sugar, and salt. Mix in the butter with your hands or a pastry cutter until mixture form crumbs when squeezed together.
• Place berries in another large bowl. Stir in the sugar, juice, and vanilla into the berries. Sprinkle the flour on top of the berries and toss to coat.
• Place the berry mixture into the prepared pan, and sprinkle with the oat mixture evenly.
• Bake for 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the berries are bubbly.

TRIPLE BERRY PIE

Steps:

• Cook berries: Add berries, sugar and lemon juice to a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Simmer, until warm and juicy, about 5-10 minutes, gently stirring occasionally. (You can taste it at this point and see if it's sweet enough for your liking. I don't like to make mine too sweet, but if you want it sweeter you can add 1/4 cup more sugar.)
• Thicken filling: Spoon out about 1/2 cup of the juice from the pan into a bowl. Stir cornstarch into the juice until smooth.
• Bring pot of berries back to a simmer and slowly pour in the cornstarch. Gently stir mixture (being careful not to mash the berries), until thickened, about 2-5 minutes.
• Cool and add to pie shell. Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Pour mixture into unbaked pie shell (in a 9 in deep dish pan).
• Add lattice top or a whole top with holes pricked on top for steam to escape. (See directions for lattice crust below).
• Pinch the edges of the top and bottom pie crusts together and crimp the edge, if you like. Brush a thin layer of beaten egg white over the top of the pie and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 40-45 minutes. Check it after about 25 minutes and place a piece of tinfoil over it if the top crust is getting too brown.
• Remove to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool for several hours. Once cooled completely, you can cut into it or cover it and refrigerate it overnight to serve the next day.

TRIPLE BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make the topping first by combining the oats, flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine.
• Pour in the melted butter and stir to incorporate. Set aside.
• In another bowl add the frozen berries, flour, sugar, salt, lemon juice and vanilla extract and toss gently to combine.
• Pour mixture into an 8x8'' or similar size casserole dish or pie plate. Glob the topping ingredients evenly over the top (I say "glob" because the mixture will be softer than your normal dry crumble topping, because of the melted butter).
• Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and berries are bubbling around the edges.
• Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool for at least 7-10 minutes before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
• Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
