Plum Berry Crisp

Name: Plum Berry Crisp
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds purple plums, cut into 1/2-inch wedges; 1 cup blueberries (5 ounces); 1 cup blackberries (5 ounces); 1/3 to 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (depending on sweetness of fruit); 1 cup rolled oats; 1/4 cup all-purpose flour; 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar; 1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into bits and softened; 1/4 teaspoon salt

The charm of this simple dessert is obvious: It takes sweet summer fruits and cooks them down so that everything good about them becomes even better.
