Berry Crumble

from "Primal Blueprint - Quick and Easy Meals" by Mark Sisson


My two girls (ages 8 and 9) can make this on there own. It is great for breakfast. Its so yummy!!

1/2 c. Walnuts
1/2 c. Pecans
a pinch of salt
1/4 t. Cinnamon
1/8 t. Nutmeg (or Cardamon)
1 T. Butter, cut up into small pieces
1 T. Vanilla
3 c. Berries (Fresh or Frozen)

Preheat oven Broiler to Low.

In Food Processor (or Blender) grind Walnuts until they are Finely Chopped. Add Pecans, Salt, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Butter and pulse until just blended, 10-15 seconds.

In a Small Pot, heat Berries with Vanilla. Bring to a Gentle Boil for 5 minutes - so that the Berries are well Heated. Drain off any excess liquid. Some liquid is okay. Place Berries in a small oven proof dish. I used a Pie Dish.

Spoon the Nut Mixture evenly on to of the Berries. Put under Broiler and Heat several Minutes until top is Lightly Browned. Be Careful not to Burn the Nuts.

Eat it.
I am going to try it with Peaches Soon.
