Raspberry Pear Crisp

Serving Size : 10

1 teaspoon safflower oil
1 1/2 cups sliced pears, such as Bosc or d'Anjou
2 cups fresh raspberries
1/4 cup dried currants
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder or cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
1 cup uncooked rolled oats
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light honey
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cardamom

Lightly oil a 9- by 12-inch baking pan and arrange pear slices in bottom of pan. Cover with raspberries, then currants. Mix together maple syrup, arrowroot, lemon juice, and rind, and drizzle over pear mixture. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a large bowl combine oats, butter, honey, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom. Crumble over pear mixture. Bake crisp until pears are tender and oats are lightly browned (30 to 40 minutes). Serve warm.

NOTE:
This is a surprisingly elegant dessert, and a colorful one. The sweetness of the pears combines beautifully with the tartness of the berries. This dessert is easy on the cook, since it can be made up to a week before a party, covered well, and frozen. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm up slightly to serve.
