• 4 cups berries, rinsed (or combination of berries, peaches, cherries)
• 1 stick cold butter
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup quick rolled oats (not old-fashioned rolled oats)
• 1 cup lightly packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat oven to 375 F. Cut the butter into teaspoon-size pieces and place them in the mixing bowl. Next, add the flour, oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. Using 2 knives or a pastry blender, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small peas. Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Shake any remaining water from the berries and pour into the baking pan.

Sprinkle the almond extract over the berries and stir to blend. Sprinkle the butter mixture over the berries. Bake 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve at once. Makes 6 servings. Top with ice cream or whipped cream.
