A short and sweet video.

March here has been cold and endless. Nothing like a summery fruit crisp to give a dreary day a warm weather vibe.

Use any fruit that you like and that buttery topping will turn it into a star crisp.

The original recipe called for 1 cup of oats in the topping, but I left them out for a change.

Raspberry-Blueberry Crisp

Ingredients:

15 oz fresh or frozen blueberries (for frozen, I like these)
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
12 oz raspberries
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound cold unsalted butter, diced
Vanilla ice cream, to serve

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.

2. Butter a 13×9 inch baking dish.

3. Place blueberries into a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss well.

4. Gently mix in the raspberries. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish.

5. Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, salt, and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the butter is pea-sized and the mixture is crumbly.

6. Sprinkle butter mixture evenly on top of the blueberries and raspberries. (I did not use all of the butter mixture, since I had more than enough for the quantity of fruit. I saved about 3/4 cups of it which I will use tonight to make a peach-blueberry crisp.)

7. Bake for 1 hour, until the top is browned and crisp and the juices are bubbly. Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator and reheat in a preheated 350℉ oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until warmed through.

Here is some short electronic goodness.

And a catchy sweet tune.

“I’ll be right there
I’ll be right there just to show you how much I care
Youʼre running to the start
Youʼre always on my mind
Youʼre running through the dark
Youʼre hunting all my time”
