Do you remember the scene from, “You’ve Got Mail” when Joe Fox (played by Tom Hanks) selfishly uses his spoon to scrape a significant amount of caviar lining a plate of egg salad at the buffet table of a party? Kathleen Kelly (Meg Ryan) judgingly points out “That caviar is a garnish!” I’m secretly a Joe Fox. I want the corner piece of a brownie. I want my piece of lasagna or mac & cheese to have a big piece of that cheesy crusty top layer. So when it comes to a crisp, naturally, I want more crisp and less fruit.
Every summer we are spoiled with great stone fruit and generous farmer friends. This year we were gifted a flat of nectarines so what better time to make a Nectarine Crisp than to celebrate Independence Day!
