Peach and Blueberry Crisp

A favorite dessert of our family.  You can use frozen peaches and blueberries, but it’s best when peaches are in season – Terry

I got this recipe from Terry after giving her grief about polluting a blueberry crisp with peaches.  I had to do some serious groveling after that because it’s so much better than just plain blueberry crisp.  It’s definitely my favorite crisp recipe now. – Kathy
