Made this last night for company. It was delicious!! Everyone LOVED it. I added 3 cups raspberries, 2 cups blackberries and one of blueberries. It really made a lot. More than it says (for six people). It is definitely a favorite for us!!

What a delicious crisp Colleen. It was perfect, the right ratio of fruit, sugars, flour and cinnamon. Beautifully cooked, just the way I like it. When the fruit starts to turn into a jam like texture, so yummy. My dh has stated that this is the best crisp that I have made to date. High praise indeed. He would not share with the neighbors, wanted it all for himself...of course he had to share it with me. It was wonderful, the flavor and texture were spot on. I used wild jumble berries in this crisp. A mixture of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and black berries. Made exactly as written. Into my keeper box this recipe goes. Thank you so much for sharing it. Made for Spring Pac/2012.

I made this as instructed using all blueberries (6 c.). I also put the juice of half a lemon in the filling because I love blueberry-lemon flavor. For the topping, I omitted the sugar (using only 1/2c. brown sugar), it was plenty sweet. I finished the topping with a good sprinkle of cinnamon before placing in the oven. It was really delicious. Can't wait to make it this summer with fresh raspberries, blackberries and/or blueberries!
