Getting your player ready...
From “Animal Vegetable Miracle,” by Barbara Kingsolver (Harper Perennial).
Ingredients
2-3 apples, chopped
2 pints blackberries
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 large handful of basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup honey — or more, depending on tartness of your berries
1 stick cold butter
5 tbsp flour
3 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine apples, blackberries, vinegar, basil leaves and honey in an oven-proof casserole dish, mix and set aside. Cut butter into flour and sugar, then rub with your fingers to make a chunky, crumbly mixture (not uniform). Sprinkle it over the top of the fruit, bake 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
