Here is a great dessert using the wonderful fresh fruit at farmers markets this month.  My family likes this so much that it is served at birthdays instead of birthday cake.  

Southwest Fruit Crisp
Topping:

1 cup Ruby Range Flour Mix

1/3 cup Sucanat or brown sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter room temperature

1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts or pecans - both nuts compliment the mesquite flavor

 

Filling:

3 cups peaches, apples, pears or any desired fruit (frozen peaches work well)



1/3 cup Sucanat or sugar

1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/3 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat oven to 375

Mix dry ingredients for topping.  Cut in butter until in pea size pieces.

Spray a baking pan with canola oil or butter the pan.  But in fruit, mix rest of ingredients. Add topping. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbling.

   

     The Ruby Range distinctive blend of flours includes the reintroduction of mesquite flour to the market.  For 2000 years, mesquite was a central dietary staple for the Southwest Native Americans.  Mesquite meal is extremely effective in controlling blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.  Mesquite, offers a good source of protein, dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc.  The exceptional flavor of The Ruby Range Mixes is a result of the sweet, nutty, slightly molasses flavor of the mesquite flour.  


     Nutrition is increased in the mixes by the addition of an ancient organic Ethiopian grain, Teff, now grown in Idaho. The combination of flours results in a texture similar to baked goods made from wheat.

     Cookie and cakes mixes are sweetened with unrefined sugar, making it safe for most diabetics.


     The Ruby Range supports sustainable agriculture in. Mesquite trees can be found in the US from central Texas to southeastern California and into Utah. On 25% of the planet species of mesquite can be found growing without any assistance from fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation or capitalization.  10% of on line orders goes to support the Ethno Medicine Preserve Project in Peru.
