4 cups peeled and cut peaches*

2 cups cleaned blueberries

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground star anise

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

4 ounces unsalted butter, melted

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup whole milk

1 (13 1/2 by 8-inch) oval baking dish

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Pour lemon juice and sugar over fruit. Mix cornstarch and water and add to fruit. Mix dry spices and add to fruit and stir entire mixture and set aside.
  3. Melt butter in small saucepan. Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar; slowly add milk to prevent lumping. Fold this mixture into melted butter, but do not whisk. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in liquid. Do not mix, batter will rise to the top during baking. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Not runny but I live at 7000 ft elevation and always add 2 Tbsp extra flour and bake a little longer. I also use buttermilk instead of whole milk.<br /><br />One of my favorites even after all these years. <br /><br />This fruit combo is wonderful but I have done a triple berry (rasp, black berry, strawberry) which is always a hit. Single fruit is good too and the star anise kicks it over the top.<br /><br />It's easy to take out for dinner with friends. I mix up the fruit, spices, and cornstarch in a zip top bag. Then the dry ingredients in another bag. Measure buttermilk and melted butter in a container. I put it all in my casserole dish. When I get to their house, I mix it all together and bake. The fragrance while it's baking makes everyone hungry!
