Recipe Introduction


This is one of my favorite recipes. I often make it for myself for dinner on a cold winter night, when I don’t feel like eating veggies, meat, poultry or fish. It is, however, a simple, fulfilling and healthy treat anytime of day.

For an extra special treat, serve it hot with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, or my choice, coffee ice cream. I have made this recipe sugar-free for myself and friends before, and no one knew it was sugar-free. I will always refer to this recipe as comfort food – and as just what the doctor ordered.



List of Ingredients




1 cup juice from canned or frozen and thawed dark, red cherries
2 1/2 tablespoons minute tapioca
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted margarine or canola oil
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons oats
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2/3 cup brown sugar substitute
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 1/2 cups dark, red cherries
2 cups sliced peaches, fresh and peeled or canned in pear nectar


Recipe




Stir the cherry juice and the tapioca together in a small bowl, cover and let sit for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Gently, with a fork or in a mixer, mix together the margarine, oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, brown sugar and cinnamon until ingredients begin to hold together and crumbs begin to form. (Do not over mix.) Reserve 1 1/3 cups crumbs from the bottom of the bowl and set aside.

Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Press the remaining crumbs firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Cover the bottom crust evenly with the cherries. Fill any bald spaces on the crust with all the sliced peaches. (Overlapping of fruits is fine, for you want the entire bottom crust covered with the fruit.) Lightly and evenly trickle the tapioca/juice mixture over the fruit. Beat the reserved crumbs in a mixer or with a fork to break them up into smaller crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the fruit. Bake about 35 minutes or until you begin to see the fruit bubbling.

This tastes best when served 10 minutes out of the oven. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat to serve.
