BLUEBERRY NECTARINE CRISP

Steps:

• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, combine the nectarines and blueberries. Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt and orange juice and mix gently. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• For the topping: In a large bowl, add the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt and mix to combine. Cut 1 1/2 sticks of the butter into cubes, then cut the butter cubes into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or 2 knives. Stir in the pecans and the reserved orange zest.
• Spread the topping over the fruit. Cut the remaining 1/2 stick butter into cubes and dot the top of the crisp with it. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking until the top is browned and the fruit is bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool a bit before serving.
• For the whipped cream: Mix the cream and granulated sugar in a bowl and whip to the desired consistency.
• Plate the crisp into individual bowls and top with the whipped cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Butter a 2 to 2-1/2-quart baking dish or gratin.
• Toss together the ingredients for the filling in a large bowl, then turn friot into the prepared dish.
• Heat the pecans in a small dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan or stirring the nuts, until they begin to smell toasty.

• Mix together the oats, flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl or in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and work it into the flour mixture, either by taking up the mixture in handfuls and rubbing it briskly between your fingers and thumbs, or by using the pulse action in the food processor.
• The topping should have a crumbly consistency.
• Stir in the pecans.
• Spoon the crumble topping over the fruit in an even layer.
• Bake until browned, about 45 minutes.
• Serve warm, with cream or yogurt if you wish.

• FOR THE TOPPING

BLUEBERRY-NECTARINE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the filling: Toss the blueberries and nectarines in a large bowl with the lemon zest and juice. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Divide the filling evenly among 4 (6-ounce) ramekins.
• For the topping: Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor except the water. Pulse until combined, this will take about 30 seconds. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is clumpy but crumbly.
• Top each ramekin with the topping. Be sure to loosely sprinkle the topping and not pack it down. The idea is to look very crumbly and craggy.
• Place the ramekins on a sheet tray and bake in the oven until the filling is hot and bubbly and the topping is brown and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Sweeten the mascarpone with the sugar. Onto a small sheet pan or plate, neatly spoon 4 small portions of sweetened mascarpone and chill until ready to serve.
• Top each crisp with a quenelle of cold mascarpone. Serve the crisps warm.
