However, old-fashioned whole oats work just as well. On this particular day, I used quick oats which are just oats that are cut into small pieces. But hey, if you don't have oatmeal make it a crumble. In a crumble, the topping is just flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and butter just like a streusel topping. Oatmeal is what distinguishes the dish from a crumble. However, sometimes you want to take advantage of your favorite fruit like delicious black cherries so you make the time.Įither way, you need to make a topping for the fruit. If I'm in a hurry I'll make a berry crisp because there's no cutting or seed removal required. I like making fruit crisps of every kind. However, have you tried using a straw? Poking a straw through the cherry will easily remove the pit without sacrificing the flesh. One of the reasons you may be discouraged from putting fresh cherries in a pie is the pits. They have a wonderful sweet flavor and some say they may help with arthritis. They come from the Pacific Northwest. We eat them like candy. However, one of my favorites is sweet black cherries aka Bing cherries. I made a wild black raspberry ice cream pie a couple of years ago. We are lucky enough to have berries that grow wild around here. Summer is a great time to take advantage of all the great fresh fruit that you can find at the grocery store, your local farmer's market, or perhaps in your own backyard. They are perfect on their own but are also wonderful in this black cherry crisp recipe. Bing cherries are my favorite summertime fruit.
