It starts with a medley of fresh raspberries, strawberries and black berries tossed with a little bit of pure Maple syrup. The topping consists of pecans, walnuts ( I subbed almonds) dates and a little cinnamon. Put it in the food processor and pulse until you have a coarse grind. Sprinkle over the top of the prepared fruit. I think the next time I make this I will also add a little bit of freshly grated nutmeg.
Raw Berry Crisp
- 6 cups mixed berries, such as blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and sliced strawberries
Topping
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup, more or less to taste depending on sweetness of berries
- 1 cup raw pecans
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts
- 1/2 cup pitted dates, roughly chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a (7- x 11-inch) dish, toss berries with maple syrup. Put pecans, walnuts, dates and cinnamon into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground. Scatter nut mixture over berries and serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.
