• 2. Gently combine the berries with the sugar, flour and cinnamon; place in the prepared pie plate.
• 3. Prepare the topping: Combine the oats, flour, both sugars and salt in a bowl. Use a pastry blender or 2 knives to work in the butter until topping resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle evenly over the berries.

PEAR AND BERRY CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Spread frozen berries in a single layer on a paper towel-lined baking sheet; thaw for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• While berries are thawing, make oatmeal topping: Mix together in a large bowl flour, sugars, allspice and salt; stir in rolled oats. Blend butter into flour mixture with a pastry cutter until large, moist clumps form.
• Returning to the crisp -- prepare pears by peeling and cuting into 3/4" pieces. Combine pears in a large bowl with lemon juice, thawed berries, sugar and flour; toss well.
• Transfer pear/berry mixture to a 2-quart baking dish spritzed with baking spray for easy clean-up.
• Sprinkle evenly with chilled topping.
• Bake until fruit is tender and topping is golden (about 45 minutes). Cool at least 20 minutes, and serve with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt (if desired).
