4 cups fresh or thawed and drained frozen blackberries
3/4 cup pitted medjool dates, soaked in water for 10 minutes and drained
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups Crumble Topping (recipe found in this chapter, use second download button below)
Equipment:
measuring cups
small bowl
small colander or fine-mesh strainer
citrus juicer or reamer
measuring spoons
food processor
rubber spatula
medium bowl
square pan, glass, 8-inch
Directions:
Put 1 1/2 cups of the blackberries along with the dates and lemon juice in a food processor fitted with the S blade and process until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the remaining 21/2 cups of blackberries, and stir gently until well combined.
To assemble the crisp, press 1/2 cup of the topping into an even layer in an 8-inch square glass baking dish. Spread the blackberry filling on top using a rubber spatula. With your hands, knead pieces of the remaining 11/2 cups of the topping until they stick together. Lay these pieces of topping on the filling to form a cobbled appearance, allowing some of the filling to peek through. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve chilled, at room temperature, or warm (see warming option). Covered with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator, Blackberry Crisp will keep for 3 days.
