• 1  tablespoon cornstarch
• 2  tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1. In a large bowl toss the peaches and the blackberries gently with the cornstarch, the lemon juice, and the granulated sugar until the mixture is combined well.

3. Spread the peach mixture in a 13- by 9-inch baking dish, sprinkle the pecan mixture evenly over it, and bake the crisp in the middle of a preheated 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden.
