Triple Berry Crisp (No geese this time!)

After a LONG absence from blogging, I am happy to be back to my Artful Oven, this time with Rose's Gooseberry Crisp.  I couldn't get any gooseberries, but will try to find some for future baking of this delicious, easy dessert.  

​As an alternative, I used a combination of blackberries, blueberries and raspberries that I had on hand, and substituted the filling from the Blu-Rhu Pie, which was one of the suggested substitutions.

The berries were tossed with a simple mixture that included cornstarch and white sugar.

Pantry essentials--old fashioned oats and Muscovado sugar--make for a delicious crumb topping.

The dry ingredients are pulsed in the food processor with unsalted butter and vanilla--in this case I used vanilla bean paste.

First, I adjusted the recipe to accomodate my larger pan.  But knowing how much Smitty appreciates the crust and crumb portion of this type of dessert, I ended up doubling the amount of the crumb topping!

Sprinkling the crumb topping over the berries.  Couldn't be easier!

Halfway through baking.  And look!  My Artful Oven now features a convection fan!  It's great for roasting, but I am hesitant to use it for my baking.

The kitchen smells like summertime!  It was simply delicious, but the juices didn't thicken as much as I would have liked.  Rose's notes called for a reduction in the amount of cornstarch when using the Blu-Rhu filling for this recipe, and of course, I also used raspberries, which may have contributed even more juice.  If I make it again with something other than gooseberries, I won't reduce the amount of cornstarch.  But juicy or not--it was a winner!  
Thank you so much for visiting and commenting on my blog!  I so appreciate your support!
