Berry Peach Citrus Crisp #SundaySupper
May is a fabulous month of the year for so many reasons. One reason is that May 9th is National Moscato Day. Gallo Family Vineyards established this holiday to celebrate the delicious wine that everyone is talking about. Today, Sunday Supper is throwing its own party to share with you our favorite Moscato pairings, recipes and cocktails.
Spring is finally here for most of the country. Here in South Florida this means that we have daily temperatures that average in the mid to upper 80’s and lots of sunshine. I know, this is summer weather for the rest of the country.
Many people do not, necessarily, take note of this climate shift where I live but I try to appreciate the subtle change. The gentle afternoon breeze is the perfect time to open up a chilled bottle of Gallo Family Vineyards’ Moscato and with white, red and pink to choose from, you are sure to find one you will love.
The White Moscato is light bodied with flavors of peach, honey and ripe citrus. The Red Moscato brings sweet citrus and peach flavors with a red berry finish. The Pink Moscato bursts with aromas of fresh citrus and peach with hints of fresh red berries and orange blossoms.
It was Gallo Family Vineyards’ Pink Moscato that inspired my Berry Peach Citrus Crisp. Peaches are just starting to arrive in my grocery stores. Biting into a juicy peach brings back summertime childhood memories of carefree warm days in Cleveland. Back then we did not have the option of buying fresh peaches any other time of the year.
The same could be said for raspberries and to this day I still love eating a raspberry one drupelet at a time. I know that with each bite there is a burst of raspberry deliciousness.
The topping for Berry Peach Citrus Crisp is a bit different from a traditional crisp. I had planned on combining flour and oats along with a couple of other ingredients to form the top layer but realized that there was not an oat to be found in my pantry. I had already put together the fruit layer and, therefore, running to the store was not an option.
I spotted a bag of plain panko crumbs and decided to give them a shot. Panko bread crumbs are different from traditional bread crumbs because they are made from crustless bread. The end result was a crispy Berry Peach Citrus Crisp with a fabulous crunch associated with each bite.
The Pink Moscato inspired my Berry Peach Citrus Crisp but the reality is that all three Moscato varieties would pair, beautifully, with this dessert. Which one will you be sipping?
Berry Peach Citrus Crisp #SundaySupper | Print |
- 1½ pounds peaches
- 1 navel orange
- 2 - 6 ounce packages raspberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup panko crumbs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 12 tablespoons (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Set aside an 11" x 7½" baking dish.
- Cut the peaches into medium size pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
- Zest the orange before slicing. Cut off both ends of the orange. Cut off the rind. Cut out each orange section. Slice the orange sections in half. Gently pat dry with a paper towel. Add the orange sections to the bowl. Add the raspberries and gently fold the mixture together.
- Transfer the fruit to the baking dish.
- Place the sugar, flour, panko crumbs, salt, orange zest and butter into a medium size bowl. Use your fingers to combine the ingredients just until they are mixed together but not blended.
- Distribute the crumb mixture over the fruit.
- Place the baking pan onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven.
- Berry Peach Citrus Crisp may be served hot or cold. It will be more liquidy when served hot. I, highly, recommend a scoop of vanilla ice cream when serving this dessert hot.
