-------- ------------ --------------------------------

THE FRUIT:

4 cups blackberries

1 tablespoon flour

3 tablespoons white sugar or light brown sugar

1 teaspoon orange rind -- finely grated

THE TOPPING:

1/2 cup unbleached white flour

6 tablespoons light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

 

FRUIT: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Sort through the berries and toss them

with the flour, sugar, and orange rind. Put them in an eight-inch glass pie pan

or equivalent earthenware baking dish. Prepare the topping, and distribute it

over the berries. Bake until the top is lightly browned, and the juices have

risen around the edges, about 30 to 40 minutes.

 

TOPPING: Combine the flour, sugar, spices and salt. Cut the butter into small

pieces; then work it into the four with two knives or your fingers until the

small pieces begin to hold together.
