Pineapple Mango Crisp

I have been eating a lot of fresh fruits lately and was flipping through the pages of the latest Fit Pregnancy Magazine and found this recipe for a Pineapple Mango Crisp.   I never knew Pineapple could pair so nicely with your average crisp topping, but it makes for a nice dessert.  The other great thing about this recipe is that it has ginger in it which helps queasiness and digestion.

The other thing I really like about this recipe is that it gives me a chance to use my pineapple slicer, which is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets.

Ingredients:  1 pineapple sliced into chunks, 3 mangos' peeled and sliced into chunks, 2 tsp.ground ginger, 2 T. finely chopped candied ginger, 2 T. fresh lime juice, 2 T. cornstarch, 1/2 cup brown sugar.

Topping Ingredients:  1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup old fashioned oats, 1 tsp. ground ginger, 1/4 cup cold butter.

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place sliced pineapple and mango in a bowl.  Add ginger (ground and candied) lime juice, cornstarch and brown sugar.  Toss and set aside.

In another bowl mix topping of brown sugar, flour, oats, and ground ginger.  Add butter and blend with pastry blender until the mixture forms clumps.

Place mango/pineapple mixture in a large baking dish.  Sprinkle topping evenly over the fruit. 

Bake for 30 minutes until topping is crisp and fruit is cooked through.  Sever warm.  (Great with ice cream.)
