Pear-Blueberry-Ginger Crisp (Gluten-Free)
This amazing pear-blueberry crisp packs just the right amount of ginger to warm your tongue and accentuate the flavor of the fruit. Ginger is not only in the juicy fruit mixture but in the browned, buttery topping as well. My family raved about this, and it's clear that I will be asked to make it again and again... and quite possibly again. We enjoyed ours with a dollop of whipped cream, but it could be served with ice cream instead or it's completely capable of shining on its very own as well. I made this using organic and gluten-free ingredients, but it could easily be made with regular sugars and flours if desired.
