Summery fruit crisp

Over the weekend one of my best friends invited me and one of her best friends to her house in Occidental, California. We had a great weekend swimming, hot-tubbing, watching chick flicks, and eating. One night we decided that we wanted to make dessert. We didn't want something too easy but we wanted it to be delicious. After much debate we agreed on summery fruit crisp with plums and nectarines (both were in season and local). We found a based recipe at food.com. The crisp was awesome. It was the perfect mix of fresh, buttery, tart and sweet. Add a bit of vanilla ice cream on top and this is perfect for a hot weekend. ENJOY!

6 sliced plums

3 sliced nectarines

1 ⅓ tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 ⅔ tablespoons sugar
