This is a great comfort dessert on a cold day. Wild blueberries are expensive if you have to buy them, but have more flavour than the larger blueberry. This dessert will fill your house with a wonderful aroma while it is cooking. A nice change from apple crisp. Found this in a House and Home magazine.

Wow! This is amazing! I thought the lemon juice amount was too much until I tasted the final result and it is perfect. The sugar crust really needed the lemon to keep it from being too sweet. Great - I'll make this whenever I get fresh berries.

The cloves were a wonderful addition to the crust. I used all blueberries (wild frozen) and it came out great. I also added lemon zest to the berries as I used fresh lemon juice. Very great kid pleaser.

This is a perfect recipe for a fruity crisp. I used all blackberries because I had been picking, but any combination of berries would be a delight in this not-too-sweet dessert.
