Chocolate Nut Berry Crumble

Preheat oven for 375 degrees

2 cups berries: Pick whatever is freshest and SWEETEST. you could also use thawed frozen berries (unsweetened).

Place berries in a small 8x8 casserole dish and sprinkle with 3 T orange or pomegranate juice. sprinkle with 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Cover with lid

Bake for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile:

1 cup walnuts and or macadamia nuts ground so the biggest pieces are the size of split peas
2 T dried blueberries (again no sugar added), ground up as fine as you can get them
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
(Hint: I use a blender or spice grinder to grind the nuts and blueberries--separately. PULSE, don't grind continuously to get even size pieces)

mix these together thoroughly
toast lightly in dry skillet over medium heat until you smell a little toasting. remove from heat IMMEDIATELY and pour onto glass plate or paper towel

Melt 4 oz very dark chocolate (72% or darker) over double boiler or in microwave

Stir nut/spice mixture into chocolate

Open oven, spoon chocolate/nut mixture over top of fruit. Do NOT cover

Bake for 2-3 more minutes but don't let it burn! Smile your sniffer!

Feel free to top with fresh whipped cream. I make it 1/2 oz amaretto and 1 tsp vanilla without sugar!
