Three Berry Crisp

Walked over by the mulberry tree this morning and the fruit is just falling off the tree ( with the help of the birds).  The tree is about 65 feet tall so there is plenty to share with them.  Picked about two cups and will get some more tomorrow.  I couldn't decide what to make with them so I hit a search engine to find a recipe that had mulberries and rhubarb.  I had picked some rhubarb the day before.

I found a recipe that was called Three Berry Crisp.  It was on Food.com.  Why it is called three berry when it only calls for strawberries I cannot tell you.  It is okay because I didn't use strawberries nor did I use three berries. But it was quite tasty.

Here I s my adaptation of the recipe.

 Three Berry Crisp
  
Ingredients :
3 medium apples,sliced
2 cups of mulberries
4 cups rhubarb, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
 3 tablespoons flour
1 slight teaspoon cinnamon

Topping:
3 envelopes of maple cinnamon instant oatmeal
1/3 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter

Directions:
Spray a 5 quart baking dish and lay apples in the bottom.
Add berries and rhubarb on top of apples.
Mix together the sugar, flour and cinnamon, stir gently through the fruit
Mix together topping ingredients until integrated, sprinkle over fruit.

Bake 350 F for 1 hour

Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.  Enjoy!

I chose to use the instant oatmeal because I did not have any regular oats.  It worked really well and I probably will do it again. It is a quick and good way to use up the oatmeal that does not get eaten in the summer.

OOPS!! Sudden wind and rain are attacking the mulberry tree( and everything outside).  It is near the pond so I guess the vegan fish will have some mulberries.

 No power, no internet, no post for now.  30% chance of rain!!!
