Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an eight-inch square or nine-inch round baking dish with the soft butter.
  2. Mix the apricots, blackberries and lemon juice together. Toss with the sugar, cornstarch and half the ginger and spread in the baking dish.
  3. Mix flour, remaining ginger and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Lightly stir in milk to form a tender dough. Roll out dough to the thickness of three-eights of an inch on a floured board and cut in strips one-inch wide. Criss-cross strips over the fruit.
  4. Bake 40 minutes, until crust has browned and filling bubbles. Allow to cool to lukewarm, then serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
