Blackberry Crisp

A friend of ours is going away on business for two months.  We are certainly going to miss seeing him.  He is coming for a visit tonight so I decided to whip together a blackberry crisp with our homegrown berries.  I haven't tried it yet but I will let you know how it turns out.  It took about 5 minutes to prepare - SUPER simple!  Our berries are quite tart so I added 3/4 cup of frozen raspberries to mix it up a bit. 

Ingredients

2 cups blackberries
3/4 cup raspberries
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice concentrate
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup oats
1/4 cup flour (whole wheat or white)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 margarine

Method
Place berries in a greased rectangular baking dish.  Mix sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and water together in a bowl and pour over berries.  In a bowl mix together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and margarine (use a pastry blender...and if you are like me and don't own one, cut in butter with two knives). Sprinkle on top. Bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees.  Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

** I'm back to report that it was yummy!  Could have used more "crisp" on the top....
