Strawberry Tomatillo Crisp
approximately 1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp cornstarch
15-20 nice ripe strawberries, cleaned and sliced
4 TBSP unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
Place tomatillos in saucepan and cook over low heat while stirring in sugar and salt, until it has the flavor of a nice tart apple. Cook 10-15 minutes. Combine cornstarch with 3 TBSP water and stir into tomatillos until mixture thickens; remove from heat and cool. Heat oven to 375. Spread filling in individual baking dishes (or 1 larger one). Top with strawberries. To make topping, mix remaining ingredients until crumbly, using your fingertips. Sprinkle topping over fruit; bake 5-10 minutes. Serve with ice cream. Makes 6-8 servings.

Green tomato can be substituted for 1/2 of fruit in any crisp, cobbler, pie with no one knowing. Adj sugar. This recipe reminded me. This is for end of season when we have to pick the tomatoes green.
