Cherry crisp
/Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 pound sweet cherries, pitted
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch ground ginger
- Pinch ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup packed Demerara sugar
- 1/3 cup butter
METHOD
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Toss cherries with granulated sugar and lemon zest and place in an 8-inch-by-8-inch ovenproof dish. Alternatively, use four individual baking dishes and place 1 cup of cherry mixture into each dish.
Combine flour, ginger, cinnamon and Demerara sugar. Using your fingertips or a food processor, rub butter into flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Sprinkle over fruit. If using individual baking dishes, place 1/3 cup topping on each.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown and liquid is bubbling. Serve hot or cold with ice cream or custard.
