This warm spring So Cal weather and a recent shipment of Harry and David ^[1] Nectarines gave me a hankering for a fruit crisp, cobbler.

3 med nectarines halved, pitted and sliced thin

2 Baskets of boysenberries

3-4 Tbsp white reisling, brandy would be good too

2 tsp corn starch

1/4 plus a little more white sugar

pinch of salt

Combine all in bowl, toss and put in greased and floured baking dish.  I use Pam Baker’s spray to do the greasing and flouring. Pre heat oven to 400 degrees, cook fruit only for 10-15 minutes, while fruit cooking make topping below.

2 Sticks unsalted butter room temp or softened in microwave 10-15 seconds

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

Dash of salt

Beat together until fluffy.

Then add

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

Beat until smooth.

Then add 1 cup of flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder and beat until combined.

Remove fruit from oven and plop batter on top of cooking fruit and return to oven for another 30-40 minutes.
