Bonnies Pear And Grape Crisp Recipes

Steps:

• 1. EQUIPMENT: You will need a glass 8X8 greased baking dish, and a medium mixing bowl and small mixing bowl.
• 2. OVEN TEMPERATURE AND TIME: Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees and bake 30 minutes.
• 3. MAKING THE 1ST LAYER: in the small mixing bowl, combine the sliced pears and the seedless, halved grapes. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and the almond extract and mix gently. Add this mixture evenly to the greased glass baking dish.
• 4. MAKING THE 2ND LAYER: In the medium mixing bowl, add brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Cut in the butter in until the mixture is of a coarse texture. Add the chopped walnuts, mix, and sprinkle this mixture over the fruit layer, spread it evenly. Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees until lightly browned.
• 5. Cook's Tip: Use with any combination of fruit or pie filling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan generously with baking spray.
• Make the topping by mixing the flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, vanilla, and salt until crumbly, pea-size pieces form. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the grapes, blackberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Pour into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit. Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling in the center. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• Make filling:
• Toss grapes with sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a wide 6- to 8-quart heavy pot. Bring to a boil, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to boil, covered, stirring occasionally, until grapes begin to burst, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer grapes with a slotted spoon to a colander set over a bowl and drain 15 minutes, then return juices in bowl to pot.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Boil juices, uncovered, until syrupy and reduced to about 2 cups, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Stir together Cognac and cornstarch until smooth and whisk into grape syrup. Boil, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Stir grapes into syrup, then spoon filling into a 3-quart shallow baking or gratin dish.
• Make topping while juices are reducing:
• Pulse together flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal. Transfer to a bowl and stir in pecans.
• Bake crisp:
• Sprinkle topping evenly over filling and bake in middle of oven until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 20 minutes.
