And not only did he pick them, he sorted them, washed them and froze them before I even got home!!
So, when he asked for a blackberry crisp for dinner tonight, how could I refuse him?
Of course I just can't leave well enough alone, so I decided to use half blackberries and half peaches and surround them with a beautiful hint of cardamom.
Now, if only I had some cardamom ice cream from Elevated Ice Cream Co., I would be all set!
(If you read this: Thanks for the berries honey! I love you!!)
Cardamom Peach Blackberry Crisp
Ingredients:
3 cups blackberries
3 cups diced, peeled peaches
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cardamom
3/4 cup flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup butter, softened
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9" square dish, or a very deep pie plate.
In a large bowl, toss together the berries & peaches (if frozen, do not thaw!) with the cornstarch, sugar & 2 teaspoons cardamom; Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together the rest of the ingredients, except for the butter. Mix the butter in with your fingers until the topping is all moistened and crumbly.
