Serves 8-10
6 large nectarines cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 pints fresh blackberries, rinsed gently
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup flaked oats
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
Pinch of salt
1 stick unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 375º
Toss the nectarines, blackberries, lime juice, sugar and cinnamon together taking care not to break up the berries. Spoon into a 8 x 11-inch baking dish. Spread in an even layer.
Combine flour, oats, brown sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Cut butter into several pieces into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives until resembles a coarse meal. Sprinkle over the fruit and bake in oven until fruit juices begin to bubble up around the edges and through the crumb, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.
