Short And Sweet. Plum And Nectarine Crisp.

I know it is January and that stone fruits are not exactly in season in most locales. However, we tend to get some pretty decent fruit from far away places here in Vermont.

Plum and nectarines are delicious in this quick crisp recipe. They are tossed with some sugar and lemon then baked under a buttery, nutty oat topping. Ice cream is the perfect accompaniment.
