Peach Berry Crumble

This recipe came to me compliments of my friend, Lenora. It's actually more of a cobbler than a crisp...and most colourful with the peaches and berries. I used blackberries and raspberries together with peaches...since that is what is in the freezer. I've had it with a combination of peaches, cranberries and blueberries...and it was equally good.

Topping:

• 1 cup flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 egg, slightly beaten

Method:

1. Combine flour and sugar.
2. Cut in butter until crumbly.
3. Stir in beaten egg and mix well.
4. Set aside.

Fruit Mixture:

• 1 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons corn starch
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 (16 0z.) frozen sliced peaches (or use sliced canned peaches)
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blackberries
• 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Method:

1. Heat oven to 400°F.
2. In small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and cornstarch. Add water. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract.
3. In ungreased 1 1/2 quart baking dish, combine peaches and berries.
4. Stir in hot sauce.
5. Sprinkle with topping mixture.
6. Bake at 400°F for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
7. Serve warm...with whipped cream or ice-cream if desired.
8. Serves 9.

Enjoy!
