sweet berries. part1.

 i love to bake.
of course photography/design is my dream job, but if i had to choose a different one... i might want to be a pastry chef.
pies, cookies, & cakes... love.

of course, i also love taking photos of food, so maybe there is a job in that... hmmm...

:)

so anyway, i made two yummy treats this past week! with strawberries & blackberries.

here is the first one. berry crisp. yummm.

{i will get to the second recipe, with photos a little later this week.}

Strawberry & Blackberry Crisp

2 cups fresh blackberries

2 cups fresh strawberries

4 tablespoons white sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups rolled oats

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

(i added more cinnamon & nutmeg, because i love them!!!)

1 1/2 cups butter

 

directions:

preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

in a large bowl, gently toss together the berries and white sugar; set aside.

in a separate large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. cut in butter until crumbly. press half of mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. cover with the berries. crumble the remaining mixture over the berries.
