Introduction
This is another wonderful dessert in a jar! You will need 2 pint-sized, wide-mouth (16oz) Mason jars for this recipe. You can also adjust the recipe to fill 4 (8oz) jars. The original recipe called for strawberries & blueberries, but I used the raspberries & strawberries I had on hand and it turned out great! This makes a great holiday gift.

Ingredients
-
Filling:
2 cups chopped fresh Strawberries
2 cups sliced fresh Raspberries
6 tsp Splenda No Calorie Sweetener
6 tsp Granulated Sugar
3 Tbsp Cornstarch
1/2 tsp Lemon zest
1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed Lemon Juice
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Crisp:
1/3 cup slivered almonds (finely chopped)

Tips
This recipe can be adjusted to whatever berries (or other fruit) you may have on hand. The jars can be purchased at some grocery & retail stores, Walmart, online, or at the local hardware store. I got mine at Ace Hardware, & they were the cheapest price at the time.
Directions
Heat the oven to 375 degrees & put the rack in center of the oven. Wash & completely grease the inside of 2 pint, wide-mouth Mason jars. Line a baking sheet or pan with foil or parchment paper & set aside.
Combine the chopped strawberries & raspberries with the white sugar, cornstarch, lemon (& zest), and vanilla in a large bowl. Toss the berries to coat them and set aside.
Whisk the almonds, baking mix, brown sugar, & salt in a large bowl until combined. Using your hands, blend the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until you can form mixture into a ball (about 2 minutes). Divide the ball in half & form each half into a round patty to fit on top of the fruit mixture.
Stir the berry mixture to redistribute the juices, then put half the mixture in each of the 2 jars. Top the fruit mixture with the crisp patty and gently press to compact the berries.
Evenly space the jars in the pan/baking sheet and bake until the topping is dark golden brown & crispy & liquid around jar edges is bubbling (about 30 minutes).
When done, remove the jars from the oven & let them cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes. The dessert can be served at this point or let them continue to cool to room temperature, put the lids on the jars, and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 or 5 days.
