Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups assorted blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for fruit filling)
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar (for fruit filling)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 unit lemon (juice and zest)
  • 4-5 tbsp unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries.
  3. Add two tablespoons of flour and three tablespoons of granulated sugar to the fruit.
  4. Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until berries are evenly coated.
  5. Set the fruit mixture aside to macerate.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining one cup of flour, one-quarter cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt.
  7. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until crumbly.
  8. Transfer the berry mixture to a baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
  9. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the fruit.
  10. Bake for 60 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling.

Notes

Ensure butter stays cold before cutting it into the flour to achieve the best texture for your topping. You can serve this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
