Photo: Plum-Nectarine-Blackberry Crumble With Cornmeal-Pistachio Topping Recipe
Ingredients
For the Topping:
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the baking dish
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup chopped pistachios
For the Filling:
- 4 nectarines
- 2 plums
- 2 cups blackberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart shallow baking dish or eight 6-ounce ramekins.
Make the topping: Whisk the cornmeal, flour, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir in the pistachios. Work in the butter with your fingers until evenly moistened.
Make the filling: Halve and pit the nectarines and plums (no need to peel). Slice 1/2 inch thick. Toss with the blackberries, granulated sugar and flour in a bowl.
Transfer the filling to the prepared dish or ramekins and dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Squeeze handfuls of the crumble mixture and scatter on top of the fruit. Bake until golden and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.
Let sit 10 minutes before serving. Top with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

I made this on a whim after buying nectarines and plums that I thought my 3 year old would love. She didn't care for them and so I tried to find something to do with them before they all went bad. This recipe was great. I didn't find that the fruit turned sour at all (as suggested by previous reviewer, it was sweet and tender. The pistachios make the dish in my opinion. My husband thought pistachios were a weird ingredient but changed his mind after tasting it. I would recommend this as a summer dessert for company any day. One last thing, I did cut down on the butter recommended in the recipe (from a total of 9 Tbs. to 7 Tbs. and it turned out just fine.

I AM A BIG FAN OF ANY/ALL FRUIT CRUMBLES WITH ICE CREAM. I TRIED THIS RECIPE AND IT WAS FAIRLY GOOD BUT NOT GREAT. THE NECTERINES OR PLUMS TURNED SLIGHTLY SOUR. THE CORN MEAL COULD'VE BEEN ELIMINATED. I USED WALNUT INSTEAD OF PISTACHIO. THE WHOLE DISH WAS RELATIVELY EASY TO MAKE.
