Started the day off in my PJ&#x2019;s sitting around, watching TV and all the crazy (non-stop) news. That lasted 2 hours. I decided to head to the kitchen and see what I could have fun making. Not enough ingredients for any kind of soup. No yeast, meant no bread. Wait a minute. Blackberries that I froze last summer. My shop, <span class="italic"><em> A Thyme for Everything</em></span>, located in downtown Lee&#x2019;s Summit, sponsors a CSA through Fahrmeier Farms each growing season. We had blackberries a number of times during the summer, and I decided to freeze some for winter. Today is definitely what I would call winter. After a quick look around through the kitchen cabinets, it was clear I had the items needed for a simple Blackberry Crisp. A crisp is a baked fruit dessert with a sweet, crunchy topping. It can be made with a number of different fruits. Peach, apple, raspberry and others, or combinations of them. I don&#x2019;t even measure usually, but paid attention to the measurements, just for you. Enjoy!</p><p> <span class="bold"><strong>Fruit Crisp</strong></span></p><p>&bull;&nbsp;3-4 cups fresh or frozen fruit</p><p>&bull;&nbsp;&#xBD; cup (+/-) flour</p><p>&bull;&nbsp;3 T. granulated sugar</p><p>&bull;&nbsp;1 c.
