I was told by my dear mother to eat the remaining strawberries in the fridge tonight before they went south. It wasn’t until after I had decided to make crisp that I realized her intention was to encourage a healthy dessert. Yet here I am, typing the recipe for the dessert I just made to share with you fine folks. Sorry momma, I’ll be healthy another night.

Ingredients:

• 16 oz. package fresh strawberries, sliced
• 4 oz. package fresh blueberries
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 3 Tbsp. corn starch
• 1 c. flour
• 3/4 c. old fashioned oats
• 2/3 c. brown sugar
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. butter, melted
• optional: vanilla ice cream

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. In a greased 2 quart casserole dish, mix the strawberries, blueberries, 1/4 c. sugar, and cornstarch together until well combined.
3. Place butter in a medium-sized bowl and microwave for 4 minutes on power 2 setting until melted. Add flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and granulated sugar. Use a fork to stir until all ingredients are moist. Sprinkle streusel evenly over the fruit.
4. Bake for approximately 50-55 minutes until topping is browned and fruit later is bubbly.
5. Serve warm with optional vanilla ice cream on top! I take that back, it isn’t optional.

Yields approximately 6 servings.

Eat, Bork, and Be Merry!
