Happy Canada Day to everyone!! I thought Saskatoon Berry Crisp would be a great dessert recipe to add this weekend to help celebrate Canada’s birthday! It’s not really “red” but with its purple colour and a dollop of white coconut vanilla ice cream it’s quite festive. I have included two versions – one nut free and both gluten free, so as to include everyone. I doubled the recipe and tweaked it as our dinner guests had a nut allergy. My favourite version is with the almonds, as the crunch really adds something special to the dish.
This is modified from, you guessed it, an “Oh She Glows” recipe. It is so versatile, you could add in orange zest, nutmeg, or substitute Saskatoon berries for any other fruit you like. Peaches, apples, pears, frozen mixed berries, cherries, blueberries would all work just great.
Pumpkin sunflower seed topping option Summer is such a busy time for entertaining that I find it really simple to double the recipe and freeze what I don't need. I often use smaller casserole dishes as well to pull out and serve when we have only a small number of guests. With all of the allergies and diet preferences now, be sure to label your creations before freezing them. I find I think I will remember what everything is, but I don't!
