One of my favorite things about summer is the fresh berries. Love them! We aren’t the most successful gardeners at my house, but lucky for us, my parents are. They gave us a whole bag of frozen raspberries from their freezer. I already had a bag of frozen cherries, so I decided to combine the two and create a berry crisp. Raspberry cherry crisp sounded like a good idea, so I gave it a shot.
Oh my. It was awesome if I do say so myself. The combination of sweet cherries and tart raspberries was just perfect. Then there’s the crunchy oat topping. We love it, so I also put some on the bottom, like I do with my Double Crumb Apple Crisp. So yummy! And of course, you must serve it with vanilla ice cream. 🙂
