Blackberry Wineberry Crisp is a seasonal dessert recipe with wild, foraged Blackberries and Wineberries (Japanese Raspberry).

Blackberry Wineberry Crisp
Hi Everyone, this seasonal, fruit crisp is made with wild, foraged blackberries and wineberries. Both these berries grow in our yard and are common in our area.
Fruit crisps are so great to make during the Summer months and into the Fall, depending on what is in season and available.
The topping of this Blackberry Wineberry Crisp recipe is like an oatmeal cookie crumbled on top.
It has warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.
In the photos, I used 2 cups of berries but you can use up to 4 or 6 cups of fruit in the base in this recipe.
If you don't have these specific berries for this recipe, you can substitute the same amount of another type of seasonal fruit.
You can substitute the same amount of Wineberries for regular Red Raspberries.
You can use blackberries from the store or local farm if you don't have them growing in your yard.
My family really enjoyed this Blackberry Wineberry Crisp and they gobbled it up quickly.
Recipe Attribution
This recipe is inspired by Apple Blackberry Coconut Crisp.
If you want to learn more about Wineberries and other foraged wild edibles, I linked to the book that I have in the recipe card at the end of the post, "Northeast Foraging."
Always make sure to get plant identification confirmation if you are new to foraging with books and foraging experts.
I've been using an app called, "Picture This" which also has been helpful.
