Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 large pears (about 4 c.)
  • 2 c blackberries
  • 1/3 c Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour (use gluten free flour if gluten free.)
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh or bottled
  • For Topping
  • 2/3 c all-purpose flour (use gluten free flour if gluten free.)
  • 1 c chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1 c gluten free oats
  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Scant palmful salt
  • 1/2 c Butter (melted use coconut oil for vegan)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375F.
  • Melt butter in microwave, or in a small saucepan on very low. After butter is half melted, you can turn off pan and the rest should melt.
  • Chop nuts, either by hand or with a few pulses of a food processor.
  • Mix together flour, chopped nuts, oats, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
  • Wash and stem blackberries or raspberries. Let drain.
  • Measure the sugar, flour and cornstarch.
  • Cut pears to an appropriate thickness. If pears are very ripe, cut larger pieces. If pears are rare, cut small. I leave skins on because many of the nutrients and fiber reside in the skin. If you prefer them pealed, peal.
  • After the pears are cut, immediately stir in lemon juice, to prevent browning.
  • Mix together Berries, Pears and dry ingredients that were set aside. Mix well. Place into greased 4 quart baking dish.
  • Add melted butter to the topping ingredients and mix well. Top the fruit mixture. Bake at 375°F. for 40 to 50 minutes until fruit is fairly soft and topping is browned.
