Author's Notes

Advantages of arrowroot according to Wikipedia: This starch thickener has several advantages over cornstarch. It has a more neutral flavor, so it’s a good thickener for delicately flavored sauces. It also works at a lower temperature, and tolerates acidic ingredients and prolonged cooking better. And while sauces thickened with cornstarch turn into a spongy mess if they’re frozen, those made with arrowroot can be frozen and thawed with impunity. The downside is that arrowroot is pricier than cornstarch, and it’s not a good thickener for dairy-based sauces, since it turns them slimy.

step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
step 2
In a large bowl combine Apricots (4) and Cherries (3 cups). Using a microplane, zest half of the Lemon (1) and add the zest to the fruit. Cut the lemon in half and add the juice to the fruit. Add Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp) and Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1/4 tsp) to the fruit. Toss to combine. Set aside.

In a medium bowl combine the Brown Sugar (1/2 cup), All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup), Salt (1/4 tsp), and Simply Organic Cinnamon, Ground (1/4 tsp). Add Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp). With your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture, working until it resembles wet sand. Add Oatmeal (1/2 cup) and Sliced Almonds (4 Tbsp). Toss to combine.

step 4
Make a slurry by mixing the Corn Starch (2 tsp) and Water (1 Tbsp) in a small bowl. Set aside. Transfer the fruit to a medium saucepan and heat to boiling, stirring constantly. (You can add a tablespoon or two of water to the fruit if there’s not enough juices coming from them). Cook the fruit for 3-5 minutes until the sugar is melted and the fruit has softened slightly. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and bring to a boil. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. The fruit mixture will thicken.
