For the love of Sweet things <3

I tried a new recipe last night and ended up making my most scrumptious baked item to date
... which would also explain why the 8"x10" pan now contains nothing but a few lonely crumbs!

I thought I'd share it in case anyone else derives pleasure from creating deliciously wonderful treats for friends... or just for yourself! It's totally worth the effort, don't doubt for a second and if you shop in the right places, *cough* China Town *cough*, you can get all the fruit for as little as $4!

Strawberry & Nectarine Crisp

6 medium Nectarines (peeled)
2-4 cups strawberries (hulled & halved)
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch (I substituted 3 tbsp. of all-purpose flour)
